Turtles date back to the times of dinosaurs, over 200 million years ago, yet because of changing climate and terribly intense human impact have become a highly vulnerable species today.
Researchers and volunteers on the Pearl Islands in the Pacific Ocean teamed up to make a positive change. The Leatherback Project, led by marine conservation biologist Callie Veelenturf, is fitting turtles with satellite tags and, by better understanding their habitat, trying to find the best measures to protect them.
