Kotagede is about 30 minutes from Yogyakarta play the important role in business trade of hawksbill products in Indonesia. Kotagede is known as the central silver and hawksbill handicraft. In this city there are many shops sell souvenirs made from hawksbill carapace. In October 2001 ProFauna Investigator noted 13 shops selling silver products as well as hawksbill products. Most of the shop concentrated at Kemasan Street.
Most of the shops selling silver in Kotagede also exported their products to several countries in Asia and Europe. But they admit that they do not export the products contains hawksbill parts because it has been forbidden by Indonesian law. However, they sell the products made of hawksbill carapace for domestic demand. ProFauna Indonesia noted more than 1300 souvenir of hawksbill sold at shops selling silver in Kotagede. This number is much higher than those sold at Malioboro Street in Yogyakarta.
The plenty number of souvenir made from hawksbill turtle sold in Kotagede is not surprising because in Kotagede there is hawksbill craft industry supplies many shops in Yogyakarta, Jakarta, and Bali. At this time in Kotagede there are two hawksbill craftsmen name Siswo Darsono and Pur Gepeng. The first previous name is the most known craftsman in Kotagede.
Darsono’s specification is making souvenir made from hawksbill carapace. Previously Darsono had ever been trying to use others material from other kind of sea turtles besides hawksbill but the result is not as good as the one made from hawksbill because the motif and its thickness is not as attractive as those hawksbill products.
Darasono has been very serious in managing his handicraft business since 16 years ago. He has production room equipped with complete tools and some employees work for him. The stockpiles in Darsono place is suppose to be more than enough to create into several kinds of souvenirs such as box accessories, bracelets, hair clips, hair combs, fans and ashtrays. Darsono can spend 20 kg hawksbill carapace to create many kind of souvenirs during a month.
The raw materials from hawksbill or bekko are supplied from Klaten, Bali, Sulawesi, Surabaya, and Kangean. Bali becomes important place while talking about hawksbill trade in Indonesia. ProFauna Indonesia investigation in 1999 shows about 27.000 sea turtles has been slaughtered in Bali. The green turtles are taken for the meat but the hawksbill is taken for its carapace used as the raw materials for souvenirs such as happen in Kotagede Yogyakarta.
Hawksbill business in Yogyakarta shows a correlation with Bali. Bali becomes one of supplier raw material of hawksbill carapace and the ready stock of souvenir from that raw material will be distributed back to Bali. ProFauna Indonesia thinks that it is important for the government should monitor and enforcing the strict measure toward sea turtle trade in Bali.
Darsono admit that he also ready to export souvenir made of hawksbill parts to several countries such as Japan, Korea, Singapore and Thailand. Darsono admits he does not directly export the products but he uses distributor in Bali.
Besides Darsono, in Kotagede there are also handicraft industries in smaller scale such as Haji Marsudi and Mrs. Rini. These industries only rely on orders from souvenir shops in Kotagede. But Darsono intensively produces souvenirs from hawksbill carapace.
Trade on souvenir contains hawksbill parts also continue happen in Kuwel, Klaten, and Central Java. One of central craft industries made from hawksbill carapace in Kuwel is Berdikari Shop owned by Sriyati. In Sriyati shop there are hundreds souvenir contains hawksbill carapace. She also has a show room at Sarinah Palaza on the third floor Jakarta. Most of the souvenir supplied from South Sulawesi.

Hundreds of rings, bracelets, and necklaces displayed at one of the silver accessories shop in Kotagede, Yogyakarta looks attractive, exotic and rise the eastern atmosphere. At a glance view the accessories looks like it is made of buffalo horn. But it is none of buffalo horn; it is made from l carapace or pieces of carapace of hawksbill that lives in the sea, far away from Kotagede Yogyakarta. Hawksbill is not husbandry buffalo. Hawksbill is reptile its existence is threatened to extinct and at the same time protected by law.
It is a few descriptions about the situation of the existence of trade on souvenir made from hawksbill that is not only happen in Kotagede Yogyakarta but also in many other places in Indonesia. Along the year of 2001 to 2002, ProFauna Indonesia investigator has visited more than 40 souvenir shops in Yogyakarta, Jakarta, Makassar, and Bali. From those 40 shops, 32 of them proven to sell souvenir made of hawksbill carapace. This is ironic because actually hawksbill has been protected since 1992, means that it is forbidden to be traded including its parts such as its carapace and its eggs.
The central trading of hawksbill products in Indonesia is in Yogyakarta. This well known city for its attractive culture, the hawksbill products are freely traded around Malioboro and Kotagede areas. Most of the product is combined with silver. Malioboro which is the central of tourism in Yogyakarta become ideal location for souvenir trade especially the product made from hawksbill parts. One of shops selling almost all kinds of souvenirs made from hawksbill carapace is Toko 55 (55 shop). In this shop, many kind of souvenir made from hawksbill sold here namely bracelets, hair combs, matches, and accessories boxes. Besides 55 Shop, other souvenirs made from hawksbill are sold in Menang Shop, Malioboro Mall, and Ramai Mall. The shop keeper fairly said that the materials of the souvenirs are made from hawksbill carapace.
The trade of products made from hawksbill in Malioboro Yogyakarta is not only sold among shops but by the sidewalk trader as well. In October 2001 visit ProFauna Indonesia investigator noted more than 350 souvenirs made from hawksbill carapace are traded around the Malioboro Street. Most of the traders of hawksbill products along Malioboro Street admit that the products are obtained from Kotagede.

Indonesia with the latitude along 81.000 km and consist about more than 17.000 islands has become home for six of eight sea turtles species in the world. Species identified to live in Indonesia is green turtle (Chelonia mydas), hawksbill turtle (Eretmochelys imbricata), olive turtle (Lepidochelys olivacea), loggerhead turtles (Caretta caretta), leatherback turtle (Dermochelys coriacea), and flatback (Natator depressus).
All of sea turtle species in Indonesian waters have been protected under UU No. 5 of 1990 about Conservation of Nature Resource and its Ecosystem and PP No.7 in 1999 about Conservation on species of Fauna and Flora. According to the act the commercial use of sea turtles and its parts are forbidden and its violators will be charged for the penalty of maximum 5 years prison.  All the sea turtle species are included on the appendix listing of CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species of wild flora and fauna) this means that international trade on sea turtles is forbidden.
Although has been explained to be protected animals, the trade of sea turtles and its part is continually exist. The use of sea turtle in Indonesia divided into some variations namely the use of its meat and its eggs for meal consumption, carapace/shell for handicraft materials, and the oil for traditional medicine. The green turtle usually taken for its meat, eggs and its oil while hawksbill turtle besides taken for its eggs, it is taken for its carapace in order to use as the material of handicraft because its carapace poses specific and interested motif.
The use sea of turtle never considers the conservation aspect of sea turtle in nature. Every year, thousand of sea turtles are harvested in order to meet the market demand. Special for green turtles, in 1999 ProFauna Indonesia noted more than 27.000 sea turtles species slaughtered in order to take its eat. However, trade on other sea turtles in Indonesia such as hawksbill is relatively low comparing to the info about green turtles.
Hawksbill turtle that includes in family of Chelonidae is one of the most interesting turtles for people because it has unique and attractive motif if it is used for handicraft. The carapace of hawksbill turtle or in English it is commonly said tortoiseshell or bekko in Japanese can be created into various somewhat exotic souvenirs for most people view. Hawksbill spread around Indonesia start from Banyak Island in Aceh until Selayang Island in Irian Jaya (Murdiyarso, 2001).
Though many data revealing cases of hawksbill trade in Indonesia either for domestic or export behalf but up to the present time there is no up date information about activity of hawksbill trade. The last data about hawksbill trade is in 1987 when there is approximately 44,411 kg of bekko from Indonesia successfully sent to Singapore before sent to Japan (Milliken and Tokunaga, 1987). On the other hand, in 1988 Greenpeace finds more than 12 ton of 20.000 adults and young hawksbills in Makassar South Sulawesi (Greenpeace International, 1989).
In September 2001 until July 2002, ProFauna Indonesia sends its investigation team to collect the latest data about hawksbill trade in Indonesia. During the 10 months of investigation funded by World Society for the Protection of Animals, ProFauna visited all locations supposed to have relation to hawksbill trade. This investigation is divided into 10 areas such as Yogyakarta, Jakarta, Bali, East Java, Riau Island-Sumatera, Madura, West Kalimantan, South Kalimantan, Flores and Sulawesi. Together with Japan Wildlife Conservation Society (JWCS), ProFauna Indonesia also collects data of international trade on hawksbill.
