Conservation in Action: The Hawksbill Turtle
An Exemplary Model for Small Groups Looking to Get Things Done
I have volunteered with a number of organizations in the past and you get all sorts from the big ‘corporates’ to the small one-(wo)man- bands fighting for or against whatever is pressing in a particular place – plastics, a particular species, human rights – the whole gamut. So when I decided last summer to go and join a small team of environmental activists and one biologist working to protect the Hawksbill Sea Turtle, on the coast of Campeche in Mexico, all I really knew was that there were turtles involved – the rest I knew was a big unknown, no matter how much I tried to find out ahead of time.
