Until recently, most scientists thought hawksbills had been
all but wiped-out in the eastern Pacific Ocean, but the groundbreaking research and discoveries undertaken by ICAPO members
have changed the conservation outlook for this imperiled population.
The goal of this
website is to raise awareness regarding the plight of hawksbills in the eastern Pacific and inspire individuals and organizations
to assist in conservation and recovery efforts.
We hope that after learning about the situation facing the population and
conservation efforts on its behalf, you will consider joining the movement.
Together we can bring the perilous eastern Pacific hawksbill back from the brink of extinction.
