Do conservationists focus on one type of sea turtle or many?

Question

It seems like it would be better to focus on one, but maybe the types are similar enough to each other to focus on many. I don't know.

Best Answer - Chosen by Voters

They actually focus on a number of different types of marine turtles. Fortunately, the factors which are making them extinct or threatened are often very similar from one situation to the next so attempts to help one group often help other groups in the same area.

Answer 2

Some conservationists focus on one species, while some conservationists focus on all the species. There are also conservationists that just focus on the beaches that are the nesting areas for sea turtles. The possiblities of combinations are endless.

Answer 3

Generally speaking, individually, conservationists will focus on one species of sea turtle in one particular area, because that's where that particular species is found. Conservationist organizations, on the other hand, try to focus on helping all sea turtle species as much as possible.

Answer 4

There are many types of marine turtles that gain attention from conservationists. The leatherback is at the forefront because of their rapidly dwindling numbers. However, Green turtles in the Atlantic, as well as Loggerheads and Kemp's Ridley turtles are also in the midst of battling off extinction. Different parts of the world conserve different turtles based on their nesting characteristics. I did research through the University of Central Florida (Orlando) in Melbourne Beach, FL working on loggerheads, greens, and leatherbacks; although our green turtle and leatherback census was much less than our loggerheads. The fight for the turtles is ongoing, and I plea for everyone to get involved in saving the ocean's marine turtles.
