The current situation for Hawksbill turtles is not good, but their IUCN listing of critically endangered means that a lot of conservation effort is being devoted to the species. For example, the World Wildlife Fund (WWF) is currently involved in a multi-institutional project that is following the movement of six Hawksbill turtles. Follow their movements and support the project via this link:

However, the most effective method of action is prevention rather than cure. Human society needs to take greater responsibility for our destructive actions of excessive greenhouse gas emissions. We need to personally take steps to reduce our carbon footprint, while Governments need to transition away from unsustainable practices such as fossil fuel burning and move towards renewable energy sources. Until we do so, Hawksbill turtles and many other species face an uncertain future, including ourselves!
