Why Are Turtles Becoming Extinct?

Answer Question

5 Answers - Sort by: Date | Rating

    We human beings are responsible for the extinction of the turtles as the actions we take is what making them being on the verge of extinction. The phenomenon can be better understood by an example. If we take the example of olive ridley turtles, they are on the verge of extinction and the responsibility goes on us human beings. They came all the way fro Canadian coasts to the coast of India at a place called Gahirmatha. In Gahirmatha there is a rule that you can use only such kind of net to caught fish in which turtles are not get caught. But hardly you find anybody who uses the recommended net and he catches turtles and in consequence the population of turtle is getting less and less.  
         
    So I can say that it is our collective responsibility to take care of our ecosystem and save all the turtle from getting extinct.

      We humans are responsible for that.Turtles are killed for skin, to make leather for handbags and shoes, and the meat, to make food. The shell is used to make patterned plastic.Nowadays turtles are becoming endangered and many associations are being made for saving turtles.

        Turtles are becoming extinct because we are using them for products. We use the skin to make leather for handbags and shoes and the meat to make food. The shell is used to make patterned plastic.
