Malaysia is home to many significant species of sea turtle as these turtles use the sandy beaches for laying eggs. According to the WWF for Nature Malaysia, out of seven species of sea turtles on earth, the country hosts four species. These marine animals are important for the ecosystem of Malaysian oceans. Unfortunately, various human activities such as pollution, overexploitation, ineffective coastal development, and governance have threatened the little creatures. The other threats to sea turtles include egg poaching, consumption, and trade.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The Malaysian government has made various restrictions for helping these creatures and encouraging the turtles to come to the shore. Various sanctuaries and charities have also helped in protecting and incubating the eggs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
