SEA TURTLES IN THE PHILIPPINES

The Philippines is home to 5 of the 7 sea turtle species in the world: Green Turtle, Hawksbill Turtle, Loggerhead Turtle, Leatherback Turtle and Olive Ridley. All species are endangered and are listed on the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) Red List. The Philippines’ turtle conservation work has spanned almost four decades, thus ensuring that biodiversity is protected for current and future generations.
