Although the Avengers have lost Gamora and BlackWidow in Vormir, they eventually won against Thanos. In the real world, sea turtles are still struggling to survive in the LMPN, which could be due to beach pollution, marine debris ingestion, vessel strikes, and trawling.

The LMNP is regulated by ICMBio, the Chico Mendes Institute of Biodiversity Conservation. With about 70 kilometers of beach extension, monthly monitoring is performed to rescue alive sea turtles and catalog those that already have died stranded.

Vormir is first seen in the movie Avengers: Infinity War. Filmed by BSP Brazil, images of the Lençóis Maranhenses National Park were used to create, along with computer graphics, the planet where Thanos takes his daughter Gamora and gets the Soul Stone.
