PHA conservation effort involving the release of 140 critically endangered Hawksbill sea turtle hatchlings took place on July 19 at Pandilusan Island in Zamboanga Sibugay, Philippines. The event was organized by the Department of Environment and Natural Resources – Region 9 (DENR-9), in collaboration with local government officials and allied agencies. The hatchlings were initially moved to a safer location due to high tides threatening their original nesting site. This initiative underscores the importance of inter-agency cooperation and community involvement in protecting marine biodiversity. Hawksbill turtles are globally classified as critically endangered, facing threats such as habitat loss, marine pollution, and poaching.
