Vhat is the significance of the phrase people have endangered these reptiles in the sentence?
People have endangered these reptiles through a reduction of available and safe beaches
for nesting, an increase in ocean pollution, and continued fishing practices that snag the turtles
in nets.

It shows how humans have threatened the life of reptiles while they have lived, by also giving an example of turtles being stuck in the nets. That makes the passage more dramatic and gives the reader an effect of shame, and has left an impact/influence.
