Sea turtles are becoming extinct because their eggs and their meat are taken for food at a faster rate than the animals pro-creating and producing more turtles. They also take the shell. This poaching is illegal in most places because sea turtles are protected (people still do it).

Secondly, they mistaken plastic bags as food, which make many of them sick (a fraction do not survive).

Thirdly, fishing nets entrapped turtles for too long that they eventually drown.

Are leatherback sea turtles extinct?

Leatherback sea turtles are not extinct, but they are critically endangered. They are often caught in commercial nets. There are safety devices in many of these nets to allow sea turtles to escape, but leatherbacks are so huge, that the adults often cannot fit through the escape (known as a turtle excluder device). Another problem is that they sometimes ingest garbage that resembles other foods. This can cause a fatal blockage.
