The global temperature has risen by 0.6°C and is projected to continue to rise. Anthropogenic effects are contributing to the destruction of animal wild life, and the ecosystem. Life is delicate, and changes in the ecosystem due to climate change is endangering wild life. Leatherback turtles or Dermochelys coriacea migrate across the entire basins and according to the 2010 IUNC red list are now critically endangered. The nesting populations for D.coriacea in the Pacific Ocean have steadily declined, while remaining stable in the Atlantic an western Indian Ocean. Identifying the reason for an increase or decrease in nesting populations for D.coriacea is difficult. There are different areas that D.coriacea may reside in that are not quite
