The green turtle has been rescued from the brink of extinction in what scientists are calling a major conservation victory.

Once hunted extensively for turtle soup, its eggs as a delicacy and decorative shells, the ancient mariner saw its numbers plummet and has been listed as endangered since the 1980s.
