Albino Green Sea Turtle Hatchling

Description

Albino turtles occur at a rate of only one in many hundreds of thousands of eggs, according to an Australian government estimate. The International Union for Conservation of Nature listed green sea turtles as endangered until 2025, with pollution, by-catch in fishing nets and development of their nesting beach grounds as the biggest challenges turtles face. That year it moved them to Least Concern: decades of conservation have helped the global population grow about 28% since the 1970s.
