Due to the Flatbacks limited range, their most threatened by global warming due to increased temperatures in their nesting areas. Second highest threat is due to the high percentage of eggs taken due to predation. They also consume garbage in the oceans that look similar to jelly fish, like plastic and balloons making their third highest threat pollution.
