Fig. 3. Over 150 years, approximately 9 million hawksbill turtles were traded globally.

Stacked area curves of the estimated number of individuals harvested under the fishing down scenario (Fig. 2D) are shown for (A) pre-WWII and (B) over the entire time series for each ocean basin. (C) Basin-wide harvested totals over the time series. This shows the geographic expansion of the global trade in tortoiseshell and the marked increase in trade coinciding with the establishment of international wildlife protections.
