The Hawksbills Sea Turtles of Venezuela
A critically endangered species that nests on the offshored island and Paris Peninsula, these turtles are known for their beautifully patterned shells.
Threatened by illegal hunting, habitat destruction, and bycatch, conservation efforts in areas like anachronistic have reduced illegal poaching and helped protect nesting sites.
From the 2007 20 Bolivar Fuerte banknote, the shells have been reworked with pieces from around the world.
