From the minute their eggs are laid until they reach the sea, the sea turtles have only an average of 1% chance of surviving, because the mother only lays her eggs (she doesn't care for her young). They can be dug up and eaten by predators (coyotes, foxes) as eggs, and even when they hatch, they can be eaten by predators (foxes, seagulls).

How many sea turtle eggs survive?
There are many predators that seek sea turtle eggs. A turtle lays approximately 30 eggs at one time. If a predator gets those eggs then there is little chance any will survive. If the nest is untouched and unharmed about 20 to 25 will survive and about 15 actually make it into the ocean. Of those 15 ten get eaten before they grow up and 3 get killed by humans so only 2 usually grow up to reproduce.

How can you help the endangered leatherback turtle?
First, doing whatever you can to reduce ocean pollution, both physical trash and chemicals. This can be done by making sure you throw trash in the trash can (not where it can go down a storm drain) and if you live near a beach, you can gather garbage on the beach to keep it out of the ocean. By buying organic foods (this reduces chemical pollutants like pesticides, herbicides, and synthetic fertilizers).
Second, if you buy seafood, try to pick line caught fish. Line caught fish don't ever accidentally catch turtles (although they can catch birds). Being accidentally caught in nets is a threat to the leatherback sea turtles.
Unfortunately, the primary threat they face is egg harvesting. Many people harvest leatherback sea turtle eggs, especially in Southeast Asia. Unfortunately, I am not aware of a way to prevent that from the US, but there are places I've heard of where people keep a watch on sea turtle nests to protect their eggs from harvesting.
