Worldwide, backbacks are considered vulnerable to extinction, but many groups are critical, according to the International Union for Nature Conservation.
The seven regions in which Backbacks are facing high environmental risks, said study co -author Bryan Wallace, an ecolibrium wildlife ecologist in Colorado.
The turtles of the contraction are famous for making the longest known marine migrations of any animal, with some people swimming up to 3,700 miles (5,955 kilometers) in each direction. That feat moves them through a wide strip of regions and can expose them to unique risks, he said.
Meanwhile, green turtles are still considered in danger worldwide, but their populations show signs of recovery in many regions of the world, researchers found.
“At the end of commercial crops and allow them to recover, their populations now do very well” in the coastal waters of many regions of Mexico and the United States, said co -author Michelle María Capistán, a researcher at Stanford University who has done field work in both countries.
