Not A Souvenir

An Hawksbill Sea Turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata) swims over a coral reef, it’s shell is painted by red and green algae. Unfortunately, these turtles are still hunted, and their shells are sold as souvenirs in some parts of our planet. They have also lost significant nesting areas, such as beaches, due to human development. Like all marine animals, Hawksbill turtles fall victim to bycatch, and they are critically endangered of extinction.
