Olive Ridley Turtles face many threat to their survival.

• Human predation in the nesting habitat for meat and leather
• Collection of eggs for consumption
• Permanent destruction of the nesting habitat through coastal degradation and development
• Incidental capture (by catch) - collateral damage to the practices of shrimp trawling and commercial fishing
• Climate Change
• Pollution
