Exclusive wallpaper for WWF members

Marine turtles have been around for so long that they shared the planet with dinosaurs. Spending most of their lives out at sea, crossing huge stretches of ocean, females return to the same beaches where they hatched to lay their eggs.  

And yet it doesn’t take much to knock that cycle off course. Climate change is warming the sands of nesting beaches, disrupting hatchling development and reducing the number of successful nesting sites. Rising sea levels and coastal development are further eroding the beaches that turtles depend on. At sea, plastic pollution and discarded fishing gear pose deadly dangers.

The good news is that your support helps turn concern into practical protection, from local communities working to keep nesting sites safer through to securing marine protected areas to safeguard marine life in international waters. This month’s wallpaper is to thank you for standing up for these ancient ocean travellers.
