Hawksbill Sea Turtle
The hawksbill sea turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) is a critically endangered species primarily found in coral reefs across the Caribbean and tropical oceans. Its population declines due to poaching for its shell, bycatch in fisheries, and climate change affecting nesting sites. Hawksbills are vital to reef ecosystems, feeding mainly on sponges. -

A Florida Red-bellied Cooter (Pseudemys nelsoni) spotted at Dairy Farm Nature Park, Singapore on 30 Aug 2025. Native to Florida, USA, this is probably an abandoned pet.

Seeking Refuge in the Mangroves
Evan Cooper, BahamasA juvenile green turtle in a shallow Bahamian mangrove forest near sunset during high tide. As the water levels rise and the tide comes in, the mangroves’ roots transform from a barren buffer to a flourishing ecosystem home to sea turtles, crustaceans, fish and much more. Given its size, this turtle has probably arrived here from the Sargasso Sea.

The odyssey
Malang, Indonesia
Olive ridley turtle hatchlings swim out to sea upon their release, having completed the three-month quarantine process at Bajulmati Sea turtle conservation in East Java. The greatest threats to wild sea turtles are poaching for their shells and eggs, high levels of plastic waste in the oceans and coastal development.Photograph: Aman Rochman/Zuma Press Wire/Shutterstock
