In Indonesia, several turtle species face a serious risk of extinction due to loss of coastal habitat, illegal hunting and accidental fishing. Green turtles, hawksbill turtles, leatherback turtles, and olive ridley turtles are some of the threatened species. The South Coast of Sukabumi is one of the areas where green turtles (Chelonia Mydas, ed) exist, but the turtle population continues to decline. One of the reasons sea turtles are threatened with extinction is also because of human activities that destroy turtle habitats.

The Indonesian government has taken steps to protect sea turtles, including the establishment of marine parks, the establishment of protected areas, and a ban on catching sea turtles. However, protection efforts still need to be improved and require cooperation between the government, NGOs and the community to overcome the threat of turtle extinction in Indonesia.
