Congratulations to Gerry Ellis whose Spotted Owl image is featured in the New York Times today. His photo illustrates an article about a new federal policy to protect this endangered species by eliminating competing Barred Owls that are considered invasive.

Tui De Roy brings us a new selection of images featuring Kemp's Ridley Sea Turtles, the smallest and most critically endangered of all sea turtle species. These animals have a remarkable story of resilience centered around Rancho Nuevo Beach in Tamaulipas, Mexico. This stretch of sand serves as the primary nesting ground for the entire species. After a devastating decline in the mid-20th century, the Atlantic Ridley population faced near extinction. Scientists estimate that as many as 40,000 females nested there in a single day in 1947, but over-harvesting of eggs and other threats drastically reduced their numbers. Intensive conservation efforts have become a beacon of hope for these turtles. Thanks to protected nesting beaches, bi-national conservation partnerships (between Mexico and the United States), and the reduction of bycatch in fishing gear, this sea turtle population is slowly but steadily recovering. While many dangers still exist, the increasing population trend and inspiring commitment to their survival offer a brighter future for this charismatic marine reptile. #naturephotography #seaturtle #stockphotography #wildlife
