Loggerhead sea turtles set record nesting season in Georgia

Loggerhead sea turtles laid a record 4,292 nests on Georgia beaches this year, marking a major conservation milestone. The number represents a hard-won rebound from a low of just 358 nests in 2004, the result of decades of protection efforts for the threatened species along the state's coast. Wildlife advocates are celebrating the recovery as evidence that sustained conservation work is paying off.

Why now: The record nesting count is an encouraging endangered-species recovery story that stands out against grim environmental news.
