Recent interviews with fishermen, governmental agency officers and indigenous communities in La Guajira in northern Colombia suggest that local sea turtle populations have declined over the past several years. Possible factors associated with the decline of sea turtles include the Guajiro’s view of sea turtle meat as a delicacy, lack of environmental education, ignorance of the law, lack of enforcement of the law, inadequate funding for conservation programs, and the contamination and destruction of local marine and coastal habitats. In recent years, environmental agencies, NGOs and private companies have made efforts working towards sea turtle conservation; however, such initiatives have been largely ineffective. The poor results are a product of the lack of coordination among, investment from, and compromise between CORPOGUAJIRA and the Ministry of the Environment, Housing and Territorial Development. Consequently, the Department of La Guajira has only one ongoing program concerned with sea turtles, one that is generally focused on education but not on conservation. Successful conservation of a threatened species depends in part on long-term and in-depth population studies. This is particularly true of reptiles, which appear to be extraordinarily vulnerable to global climate change and other human-induced stressors.
