Marine biologist Lilian Mulupi and her team are battling deep-rooted myths and modern threats to save Kenya's endangered sea turtles. A recent successful hatching of green turtle eggs in Mtwapa, Kilifi County, highlights ongoing conservation efforts amidst steep challenges.

• Only one in a thousand sea turtle hatchlings are estimated to survive to adulthood.
• Key organizations involved include Lilian Mulupi's team, the Olive Ridley Project, and local Beach Management Units (BMUs).
• Despite conservation efforts, all five turtle species found in Kenya are listed as endangered or vulnerable due to habitat loss, poaching, pollution, and climate change.
