Release And Green Turtle Save Campaign In Indonesia

Several green turtle babies (Chelonia mydas) aged 3 weeks ran to the high seas when released and escaped the 3-month quarantine process in the Green Turtle conservation area on Bajul Mati Beach, Malang, East Java, Indonesia, September 10, 2020. The green Turtle species is one of the seven species of sea turtle left in the world in Indonesia, including the leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), loggerhead turtle (Caretta caretta), Flatback Turtle (Natator depressa), Hawksbill Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricate), and the Turtle Lekang (Lepidochelys olivacea). The greatest threat of turtle living in the wild is poaching for shells and eggs. As well as the high level of plastic waste in the oceans and the development of coastal areas.
