A year-long survey has releaved the caught world´s rares turtles in a one are of Madagascar. In this work, it´s show the level of explotation it. Before there isn´t studies about the turtles because the catches just one part and this place have difficult access. It is important the investigation because someone turtles are an endangered species and besides find the region por working with the villages and avoid the catches.
The investigation started in Toliara, part of remote south-western region of Madagascar, with the team trained villagers of Broderick (she led this survey, of the Centre for Ecology and Conservation), they crossed the coastline (60 km) collected and photographing; they documented 699 turtles, the majority were green turtles, the specie most common, but the catch includes hawksbill turtle (endangered).
Many species of turtles are incluided in the IUCN red list of endangered species. In Madagascar there are presidential decree about explotation of all marine turtles. In spite, the laws aren´t enforced because of lack of capacity for implementation along the enormous leght of the coastline.
About Frances Humber, the captured of turtles is very important for meat in the culture of coastal populations, but they understand the ensuring of this resource. Other important thing is the use of product, whether the harvest is for subsistence or for markets commercial. The conclusion is difficult because in countries in developing is common the consume and it makes difficult the conservation of endangered species.
