29. Green Sea Turtle
Green sea turtles are vital to marine ecosystems, helping to maintain healthy seagrass beds through their grazing habits. These habitats are crucial for other marine species, supporting biodiversity. However, green sea turtles face significant threats from pollution, such as plastic ingestion, and accidental capture in fishing gear. Conservation efforts aim to mitigate these threats through habitat protection and sustainable fishing practices. Ensuring the survival of green sea turtles is essential for keeping marine ecosystems balanced and thriving.
