Cause Compass: Turtle Collection Clutch Bag

Conversation: Endangered Turtles

• It's estimated that only around 1 in 1,000 marine turtle hatchlings make it to adulthood.

• There are seven species – hawksbill, leatherback, loggerhead, flatback, olive ridley, Kemp's ridley and green turtle - and at least six of the seven species are at risk of extinction.

• 80% decline in Hawksbill turtles over 3 generations.

• Over the last three decades, the word has lost half of its reefs.
