Stake holders Ms. Connie Tan, Visitors and RP Students.
Developed questions and researched about lives underwater.
Many respondents show that people lacked awareness about the Live Turtle and Tortoise Museum. As well the danger for the animals under the water.
Interviewees understood the importance of turtle conservation and identified major threats such as climate change and plastic waste.
Climate change and plastic pollution were frequently mentioned as the main reasons for the decline in endangered species populations.
what are the main causes of the decline in endangered species?
The decline in endangered species is primarily due to habitat destruction, overexploitation, pollution, and climate change.
about the interviews
They are aware of actions are required to play a part in conserving endangered species especially turtles
Interviewee's Perspective (WanCi)
People
It is common knowledge that turtles do die due to consumption of plastics
Efforts of conserving endangered animals can go unnoticed by society as they are rarely publicised in mainstream media
Marine Biologists
Processes

Endangered Animals
Parts
Pollution
Invasive species
Seas/Ocean
Many invasive species cause harm to ecosystems and kill native wildlife. Turtles will inevitably be affected adversely by invasive species as well (barnacles, etc.)
Plastic waste
The heightened use of plastics in our daily lives has caused pollution in our oceans due to improper disposal. This has caused harm to the turtles.
Locals
By bringing awareness to locals (especially those living near coastal areas), many people, especially the younger generation, will start to be more careful of how they dispose their rubbish.
MNCs
As a large contributor to waste, they should find effective ways to reduce the pollution that they cause substantially
Non-governmental organisations
Groups like the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) play a key role in the conservation of endangered species.
