Loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta), Northeast Atlantic Ocean (key nesting sites: Cape Verde)

Although relatively abundant, Cape Verde loggerheads have a limited distribution, and have been threatened for decades by consumption of meat and eggs, as well as bycatch in Cape Verde and in feeding areas along the African mainland coast.

Loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta), North Pacific Ocean (key nesting site: Japan) 

North Pacific loggerheads nest exclusively in Japan and forage across the Pacific Basin. This endangered population is currently most threatened by severe bycatch in Mexico and Japan as well as coastal development in Japan.

Hawksbill turtles (Eretmochelys imbricata), West Pacific Ocean (key nesting sites: Malaysia; Indonesia; Philippines)

Hawksbills populations worldwide have declined due in large part to enormous demand for their beautiful shells, which provide ‘tortoiseshell’ material used to make highly valuable handicrafts and jewelry. This hawksbill population, in particular, has suffered greatly due to exploitation of their shell material. Although international trade of hawksbill products is illegal, it continues to be a major threat to hawksbills around the world, especially in this region. In addition, future climate change impacts could be another serious issue for this population.
