Many sea turtle species' populations are at a decline.
The Green Sea Turtle is a tropical-ranged, herbivorous sea turtle currently
listed as an Endangered species.

Habitat loss, climate change, pollution, becoming bycatch, hunting/harvesting,
 loss of nesting and feeding grounds, and the consumption of marine debris are
just a few of the factors putting these turtles at risk.
Sea turtles already face a plethora of natural threats on their way to adulthood, but
the additional human-inflicted pressures are pushing them to their extinction. It is
estimated that hatchlings only have a 1/1000 chance of making it past the first decade-
two decades of their lives despite being able to live to over one hundred years old.

After making "Deserve", my polar bear piece, I really wanted to continue
on what could be a "series" of endangered animal-focused pieces. It may
not be much, but ever since, I've felt the urge to continue creating and
trying to help get some information to this wonderful audience 
It may or may not be something you already know, but it's something
I'd like to devote more time to
