Hey everyone! Sorry for the leave of absence—I was under the weather, but I’m back and ready to dive into today’s topic! In this episode, we’re exploring the incredible hawksbill turtle, known as a “reef guardian” for its crucial role in coral reef ecosystems. From their beautiful shells to their unique diet of toxic sponges, hawksbills are fascinating creatures with a vital ecological impact. But, they’re also facing serious threats, including illegal poaching and coastal light pollution. We’ll discuss the challenges hawksbills encounter and highlight how conservation groups are working tirelessly to protect them. Plus, find out how you can track a hawksbill’s journey in real time and make a difference from wherever you are!
