00:00For sea turtles injured in the wild, recovery can take years.
00:04Turtles fought Taiwan, a conservation organization,
00:07analyzed more than 7,000 observation records
00:10and conducted long-term tracking of 13 sea turtles for about a decade.
00:15They say these injured animals take around two to four times longer
00:19than whale sharks and dolphins to recover.
00:30For about 600 days, they suffered a disaster and ended up dying.
00:36Sea turtles around Xiaoyuqiu and the island of Taiwan's southwest coast
00:40are particularly vulnerable,
00:42and this sometimes causes problems for nesting female sea turtles.
00:46In the wild, we've seen the wild shark's tail is less than the tail.
00:50Its tail is very easy to fall, and it will increase its困難.
00:55In contrast, rescued sea turtles that receive medical care
00:58and artificial shell repair can recover
01:01and be released back into the wild in about 120 days.
01:05The wild turtles can take 45 times as long to heal naturally.
01:09To better protect these marine creatures,
01:12conservationists are urging the government
01:14to follow the U.S. and Australia's lead.
01:16This means setting up low-speed zones
01:19in areas that overlap with sea turtle hotspots and other options.
01:22For example, the forest видers will be varieties of sand,
01:26there are several floodwaters in their lands.
01:28For example, the sea turtles are going to be off the shore,
01:30and the sea turtles can be on the shore.
01:31For example, the sandals are going to be on the shore,
01:31Recovery times still take over a year for sea turtles,
01:35so conservationists say prevention remains the key
01:38to protect this delicate species in the wild.
