Back when dinosaurs roamed the earth, the Hawksbill turtle swam through the southern oceans. But now, overfishing has brought the Hawksbill to the very brink of extinction.
The Arnavon Islands are among the Hawksbill's last refuges. Nestled in a far corner of the Solomon Islands, the Arnavons have become one of the Hawksbill's most important rookeries in the Pacific Ocean. Three rival tribes claim ownership of the islands, and their need for resources is threatening the very environment that sustains both them and the turtles.
Home for Hawksbill tells the remarkable story of how these tribes overcame cultural conflicts over land ownership to protect the islands and save the turtles. Their success has become a model for conservation and is inspiring action all over the world.
