"Do they headstart the Leatherback I wonder."
I was thinking the same thing. I've seen quite a lot on sea turtles lately, and wondered, with the stat thrown out that only 1 of 10,000, or some similar ridiculous number, of hatched sea turtles make it to maturity, why don't we headstart more sea turtles to get their numbers up?
Six of the seven species are considered to be horribly low in number and three are critically endangerd... I know there are programs and conservation efforts, it just seems like there's more that can be done, especially with humans taking over so many historic birthing sites. Sad.
