Few months ago, I visited the Pawikan Conservation in Punta Dumalag, Matina, Davao City.
The place is envisioned to be the santuary of hawksbill turtle which was discovered to be endemic in the place.
Hawksbill turle is listed under the Convention on Internation Trade in Endagered Species on Wild fauna and Flora and under the International Union for Conservation of Nature Resouces as species of wildlife is in danger of extinction and whose survival is little if the causal factors continue operating.
This project is a consortium effort led by City Councilor Leo Avila III.
I think the place will be open for public visit.
You can contact them. .. for inquiries or support to the Program:
