Hello! Really interesting to read about your story of protecting the Hawksbill turtle. Sounds like you have a huge task on your hands, I really admire that you press on and continue with your work in Venezuela despite the struggles you face. In Crete, the problem was only due to mass tourism, and that was hard to get the message across to locals as well as tourists that Sea turtles need our help in order to exist. Turtle consumption I believe is a big problem to tackle and yes I agree, it is necessary to transmit citizen awareness for the conservation of sea turtles within the local communities. You will only succeed if you get the community backing. I hope you can succeed and continue to work for the turtles protection. Good luck, I wish you all the best!
