The Leatherback Sea Turtle is An Most Endangered Species

The leatherback sea turtle is the world's largest turtle, as well as the most endangered turtle. It became endangered because humans have taken their eggs as keepsakes. Many people find it neat when they find a turtle egg on the beach. Not realizing the consequence, they pick it up. Their ignorance is killing off an entire species. If you see eggs on the beach, feel free to take a picture, but leave the eggs alone.

Another reason they are dying is because turtles mistake plastic items as food, that is why it is important to never litter. Plastic can get into the ocean. When an animal sees something floating, they often assume it is an animal they can eat, this has the potential of poisoning, choking, or causing blockages in their intestines. Although both of these are real dangers, their decreasing numbers is in most part due to the loss of beaches where they can inhabit. The more beaches we humans have to swim on, the less there are for other creatures to live.
