A turtle lays its eggs on a beach in Yemen's Mahra province, near the border with Oman on June 10, 2023. AFPPIX: On a Yemeni beach, a sea turtle clambers ashore to lay eggs, which will likely be born female due to rising temperatures, creating a gender imbalance that brings the threat of local extinction.
Environmental activist Hafiz Kelshat said the proportion of males had “decreased considerably” in recent years. The problem is not unique to Yemen, wracked for nearly a decade by a devastating civil war which has created one of the world's worst humanitarian tragedies. Yemen ranks as one of the region's most climate-vulnerable countries, according to the Global Adaptation Initiative of the University of Notre Dame in the US state of Indiana.
