Yeah for the Kemp's ridley turtles

Lets not celebrate too soon.

Not so long ago, the Kemp's ridley sea turtle appeared to be on the path of the dodo bird, to extinction. The Kemp's ridley has been on the endangered list since 1970. But thanks to human intervention and teamwork between the United States and Mexico, the Kemp's ridley's current trajectory is a bit more like the once-threatened, now-thriving brown pelican. The turtle's protectors, who announced a new recovery plan last week, now are optimistic that the turtle can be removed from the endangered list in the not terribly distant future.

The Kemp's ridley's numbers shrank from hunting and from being snared unintentionally in commercial fishing nets. The nets now have design features to protect turtles but still are the turtle's main threat.
