My name is heather creelman, i made this petition to save leatherback turtles. This is a vital step to protect these critically endangered turtles, whose populations have dropped due to human-driven threats like bycatch, plastic pollution, habitat loss, poaching, and climate change. leatherbacks face an uncertain future, with Pacific populations declining over 80% in recent decades. I hope for this petition to raise awareness and pressure policymakers to enforce stricter fishing regulations, protect nesting beaches, and reduce plastic waste. By signing this petition, you can help ensure leatherback turtles continue to grace our oceans for generations to come.
