The IUCN has reclassified the Green Sea Turtle (Chelonia mydas) from Endangered to Least Concern, marking a major global conservation success. The improvement reflects decades of protection of nesting beaches, feeding sites, and migratory routes.
Despite progress, the species still faces threats from illegal harvesting, bycatch in fishing nets, coastal development, light pollution, and climate change affecting nesting and sex ratios. Continued conservation efforts remain vital to sustain this recovery.
