    AN ENDANGERED SPECIES

      Scientific Name: -Eretmochelys imbricata

    Hawksbills help maintain the health ofcora ree"#. As they remove prey such as sponges from the

    reef's surface, they provide better access for reef fish to feed. They also have cultural significance

    and tourism value. For example, for local residents in the Coral Triangle, the flow of visitors who come

    to admire turtles is a vital source of income.

    CAUSES OF ENDANGERMENT 

    Destructive fishing practices: These include cyanide fishing, dynamite fishing, and

    bottom trawling. Bottom-trawling is one of the greatest threats to cold-water coral reefs.

    Overfishing: This affects the ecological balance of coral reef communities, warping the

    food chain and causing effects far beyond the directly overfished population.

    Careless tourism: Careless boating, diving, snorkeling, and fishing happens around the

    world, with people touching reefs, stirring up sediment, collecting coral, and dropping

    anchors on reefs. Some tourist resorts and infrastructure have been built directly on top

    of reefs, and some resorts empty their sewage or other wastes directly into water

    surrounding coral reefs.

     

    Pollution: Urban and industrial waste, sewage, agrochemicals, and oil pollution are

    poisoning reefs. These toxins are dumped directly into the ocean or carried by river

    systems from sources upstream. Some pollutants, such as sewage and runoff from

    farming, increase the level of nitrogen in seawater, causing an overgrowth of algae,

    which 'smothers' reefs by cutting off their sunlight.

     

    Sedimentation: Erosion caused by construction (both along coasts and inland), mining,

    logging, and farming is leading to increased sediment in rivers. This ends up in the

    ocean, where it can 'smother' corals by depriving them of the light needed to survive.

    The destruction ofmangrove forests, which normally trap large amounts of sediment, is

    exacerbating the problem.

     

    Coral mining: Live coral is removed from reefs for use as bricks, road-fill, or cement for

    new buildings. Corals are also sold as souvenirs to tourists and to exporters who don'tknow or don't care about the longer term damage done, and harvested for thelive rock

    trade.

     

    Climate change: Corals cannot survive if the water temperature is too high. Global

    warming has already led to increased levels of coral bleaching, and this is predicted to

    increase in frequency and severity in the coming decades. Such bleaching events may

    be the final nail in the coffin for already stressed coral reefs and reef ecosystems.

    populate many isolated oceanic islands. !n

    addition, these birds often prefer to run

    rather than fly. "any #inds of rails have

    therefore given up on flying altogether.

    Flightlessness can save a bird some trouble,if they evolve in the right environment. "any

    island rails are flightless because small

    island habitats without predators eliminate

    the need to move long distances. Flying is

    difficult, and ma#es intense metabolic

    demands of a bird. "uscles used to fly can

    ta#e up a large portion of bird$s weight, and

    giving it up can save a bird in energy

    expenditures. Flightlessness can ma#e it

    easier to survive and colonize an oceanic

    island where food and resources may belimited.

    The sum total of what we #now about the Tahitian Red-%illed Rail comes from a specimen

    pic#ed up by &ohann Reinhold Forster, famous naturalist on 'aptain &ames 'oo#$s second
