Since Sea Turtles are Endangered, Why Can’t We Just Help Ensure the Majority of Hatchlings make it into Water Instead of 1 in 1,000?

We do. In areas that are common sea turtle hatcheries, different organizations go to great lengths to both protect the sea turtle nests and to help the hatchlings themselves.
Obviously sometimes best hatch earlier than expected, or in the middle of the night when no one is around, so no one knows and no one is there to protect them. This also happens on remote beaches that humans just don’t go to.
But you can see plenty of videos on the internet of sea turtle hatchlings making their way to the water with crowds of people watching and volunteers guiding them.
