The Queensland ‘turtle factory’ fighting to save endangered species

Queensland is reviving the endangered green turtle population on an island off its shores by rebuilding the beaches where turtles nest. The Raine Island Recovery Project, a multimillion-dollar public-private partnership between the Queensland government and global resources company BHP, sent a team of scientists to Raine Island off the coast of Queensland. By using a combination of conventional and high-tech methods, they have saved more than 600 turtles and increased hatching rates by almost 20% in areas.
