THREATENED.
SORONG, 29/4 - TERANCAM PUNAH. Seekor turtle buymbing (Dermochelys castiacea) forms a trace of camouflage to dock predators in the sand near the egg nests on Warmamedi Beach, Sorong, West Papua, early Tuesday (28/4). The turquoise is the largest type of turtle weighing 0.5 tons but in the last 50 years the population decreases drastically due to predator attacks, coastal abrasion and human beings, so it is threatened.
