Khram Island, Thailand, June 17, 2009—A Thai Navy sailor holds a baby albino green sea turtle at a nursery for the reptiles, which are considered endangered by the International Union for Conservation of Nature.

About 15,000 green turtles and hawksbill turtles are hatched and housed at the navy’s conservation center annually until the animals are old enough to be released into the sea.
