Loggerhead sea turtles laid a record 4,292 nests on Georgia beaches this year, a milestone in a decades-long recovery for the threatened species. The count marks a hard-won rebound from a low of just 358 nests in 2004, credited to years of conservation work along the state's coast.

Why now: The record nesting count is a rare good-news story for an endangered species, drawing attention to the success of long-term conservation efforts.
