Hawksbill turtles are classified as Critically Endangered globally by the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN), and this is for a reason. This species has suffered worldwide a reduction in numbers of over 80% over the last 100 years, and only now discrete populations are starting to recover – with the implementation of long term dedicated conservation programmes.

You can now play an important role in the conservation of marine turtles in the Gulf region. Find out ways to support EWS-WWF Marine Turtle Conservation Project as an organisation or as an individual.
