I added a link to SWOT Report, volume 1. This is a yearly publication and volume one focuses on the leatherback nesting beaches of the world, along with many articles about loggerhead natural history, behavior and conservation. Also includes information relating to other species of sea turtles, but the information is heavily leatherbacks. All products, publications and information produced by SWOT is to be freely used and distributed and is meant to be a public outreach, awareness and education tool for conservation of sea turtles. c 2007 (UTC)

As a concerned reader, Im wondering if conservation status can be made more available in the beginning of the article, rather than having to scroll down and see that it's endangered. I feel it's almost hidden at this point, I had to search for it. 98.109.137.129 ( talk) 11:23, 7 February 2024 (UTC) reply

I have added some information to the lead. CMD ( talk) 11:44, 7 February 2024 (UTC) reply
