A large green sea turtle wallows listlessly in a tiled pool, missing a fin that had to be amputated after it got snared in a fishing net off the Indonesian island of Bali.

Despite the creature’s forlorn appearance, it is one of the lucky ones and is expected to recover before being returned to the sea – and the multiple dangers that await it there.
