What are Loggerhead Turtles?
Loggerhead turtles are sea turtles with a global distribution, although some areas of the world are more famous for their loggerheads than others. In the conservation movement, loggerhead turtles have become an important symbol; these gentle giants were added to the endangered species list in 1978, and they continue to be very vulnerable despite the efforts of conservationists. People who want to see loggerhead turtles in their natural habitats can visit coastal regions with large populations of loggerheads, although access to the turtles may be restricted due to conservation concerns.
