"Climate Change Threatens Green Turtles"
Discover the fascinating world of baby turtles and how climate change is impacting their survival in this eye-opening video. A recent study by the University of Exeter and the Center for Marine and Environmental Sciences in Portugal reveals alarming statistics - by 2100, up to 93% of green turtle hatchlings could be female due to rising temperatures. This research, focusing on Guinea-Bissau in West Africa, highlights the potential global implications of this phenomenon.
