The Incredible Journey of Endangered Sea Turtles

Sea turtles are ocean nomads. They travel vast expanses of water, swimming hundreds and thousands of miles during their lifecycle because they nest and feed in different areas, often taking them to completely different nations. But these amazing creatures currently face threats on land AND in the sea and need protection throughout their entire lifecycle. Conservation International scientists traveled to Papua New Guinea and Timor-Leste to tag sea turtles in order to track their travel paths in real time to help determine where countries need to establish the next protected areas that will enable turtles to safely get from their nesting grounds to their feeding areas.
