This picture taken on October 19, 2018 shows ranger looking at a green turtle in a nesting ground on Thameehla Island. Peril plagues the young life of a baby turtle in Myanmar; if the crabs don' t get them before they scramble from the beach to the sea, poachers or fishing trawlers may do – while habitat destruction also decimates their numbers. Myanmar' s waters boast five of the world' s seven sea turtle species, including the critically endangered hawksbill, the endangered green turtle as well as the olive ridley, leatherback and loggerhead turtles, all listed as vulnerable.
