Chiwerengero cha akamba padziko lonse lapansi chatsika kwambiri. Mitundu ya zokwawa zili pangozi kutengera ndi Red List ya World Conservation Union chifukwa chakuchepa kwa malo oberekera azimayi, kusonkhanitsa mazira komanso kusaka nyama. Akamba amagawidwa mu Red Book ngati "Ali Pangozi". Izi zikutanthauza kuti mitundu iyi imakwaniritsa "mindandanda" ina. Chifukwa: "adawona kapena akuyembekeza kuchepa kwa anthu osachepera 50% m'zaka 10 zapitazi kapena mibadwo itatu, chilichonse chomwe chidachitika koyamba." Magulu omwe asayansi amagwiritsa ntchito padziko lonse lapansi kuti awone momwe zamoyo zilili zovuta komanso osatsutsana. Turtle Research Team ndi amodzi mwa magulu opitilira 100 a akatswiri ndi mabungwe omwe akuwunikira omwe amapanga Species Survival Commission ndipo ali ndiudindo wochita kafukufuku wofufuza momwe akamba amasamalirira. Izi ndizofunikira chifukwa kutayika kwa zachilengedwe ndi amodzi mwamavuto akulu kwambiri padziko lapansi, ndipo padziko lonse lapansi pali nkhawa yayikulu pazinthu zachilengedwe zomwe umunthu umadalira kuti zipulumuke. Akuti pakadali pano kuchuluka kwa zamoyo zomwe zatha ndi 1,000 kapena 10,000 kuposa momwe chilengedwe chimayambira.

Kufikira zidziwitso zaposachedwa za kamba za Red Data Book ndikofunikira kuti maboma, mabungwe azinsinsi, mabizinesi ndi mabungwe apange zisankho zachilengedwe. Zambiri zamtundu ndi zachilengedwe zimathandizira mabungwe omwe amagwiritsa ntchito zachilengedwe kupanga mapangano azachilengedwe omwe amatsimikizira kugwiritsa ntchito bwino zinthu. Osati kale kwambiri, kuchuluka kwa akamba kwatchulidwa ndi umboni wakale kuti "sikutha." Zolemba za amalinyero a m'zaka za zana la 17-18 zili ndi chidziwitso chambiri cha akamba, chambiri komanso chambiri kotero kuti kusodza kwa ukonde kunali kosatheka, ngakhale kuyenda kwa zombo kunali kochepa. Masiku ano, ena mwa ziweto zazikulu kwambiri padziko lonse lapansi omwe adafotokozedwapo asowa kapena atsala pang'ono kutha. Mwachitsanzo, talingalirani za akamba omwe kale anali odziwika bwino a Cayman Islands, omwe anali oweta ambiri ku Caribbean. Chidacho chidakopa anthu kuzilumbazi m'ma 1600s. Pofika koyambirira kwa zaka za m'ma 1800, padalibe akamba akulira m'derali. Ziwopsezo zimaunjikira kwa nthawi yayitali ndipo zimapezeka kulikonse, chifukwa chake kuchepa kwa akamba m'deralo ndi chifukwa cha kuphatikiza zinthu zamkati ndi zakunja. Njira zodzitetezera ku Reptile zimachitika padziko lonse lapansi komanso kwanuko.
