A group of people in green shirts, labeled "Ranger," work together at night to help a large leatherback turtle on a sandy beach. Some wear headlamps to illuminate their task.

A close-up of a leatherback sea turtle resting on a dark sandy beach at night. Its textured skin features a mix of black and white patterns.

A group of hands, wearing gloves, is carefully cutting a fishing hook out of a sea turtle's mouth using various tools.

The image shows two maps tracking migratory paths of sea creatures across the Pacific Ocean. The top map features a single red path starting near Baja California and moving to the waters of Japan. The bottom map displays multiple colorful paths emanating from the area around Baja California, diverging across the Pacific and reaching areas near Asia and Australia. Maps are overlaid on a satellite view of the ocean and surrounding continents. The image is credited to Wildlife Computers.

After tagging leatherbacks in the Solomon Islands, satellite data revealed where they go next. While most turtles swam to New Zealand’s cold waters, one tagged female swam over 10,000 kilometers to California! This data helps us protect critical habitat. #WorldWildlifeDay https://nature.ly/3OLRxCC
