The Green Turtle (Chelonia mydas) is a large sea turtle found in tropical and subtropical oceans worldwide, where it plays an important role in maintaining healthy seagrass ecosystems. Named for the greenish color of its fat, it feeds mainly on seagrasses and algae as an adult. Green turtles face ongoing threats from habitat loss, climate change, fishing bycatch, and pollution, making conservation efforts such as nest protection, fisheries management, and international cooperation essential for their long-term recovery.
