Baby turtles at Malaysia's Ma' Daerah Turtle Sanctuary Centre and Green Turtles from Tanzania

Baby turtles crawl to the sea during their release at Malaysia's Ma' Daerah Turtle Sanctuary Centre in Kemaman, in the northeastern state of Terengganu, in August 17, 2004 . Leatherback turtles that survived the age of the dinosaurs face extinction across the Western Pacific today, even though rescue strategies could be as simple as saving their eggs from fishing nets.

One of 154 Green Turtles recently hatched from a single nest is seen on a beach in Rad Dege, 24 km (15 miles) south of Tanzania's commercial capital Dar es Salaam, July 28, 2007. The Green Turtles are one of five turtle species, all globally endangered, that are found on the east African coast. Their nests are protected by local villagers, who work as part of a project that has been implemented by Sea Sense, a local Tanzanian NGO. REUTERS/Sala Lewis (TANZANIA)
