Rescue Planned for World’s Most Endangered Turtles
“The Wildlife Conservation Society today announced that it would “take direct responsibility” for the survival of some of the world’s most endangered tortoises and freshwater turtles.
So many of these animals are being collected, traded, eaten and used for medicine that they are being pushed into extinction. In addition, their habitats are being fragmented, destroyed, developed, and polluted.
Based at New York’s Bronx Zoo, the Wildlife Conservation Society has developed a new strategy to prevent the extinction of at least half of the species in a 2011 report by WCS and other groups that lists the world’s 25 most endangered turtles and tortoises”
BTW, I donate to the Turtle Survival Alliance. Good people. If you donate, you can choose to support a specific turtle project or give to the general fund.
