Turtles Are Casualties of Warming in Costa Rica

The New York Times November 13, 2009 By Elisabeth Rosenthal


In Costa Rica, Playa Grande is a resort town that is also known for Leatherback Sea Turtle National Park. Warmer temperatures and rising sea levels have diminshed the Pacific Sea Turtles. These species are unfortunetly endangered. The Sea Turtles are sensitive to the affects of global warming. They feed off reefs which are dying in hotter seas.

It's a shame how things are happening to these innocent sea turtles. There are seven sea turtles worldwide and they are considered threatened. I hope someone helps the turtles out and makes sure that they don't become fully extinct.
