New Article: Turtle Conservation Update (Focus on US natives)

[findiviglio]

Hi All,
Please check out: Summary: Turtle Conservation Issues
Hello, Frank Indiviglio here. Eleven years ago, I traveled to Florida to assist folks from the New York Turtle and Tortoise Society and other groups in rehabilitating thousands of turtles seized in southern China (please see this article for details). The event marked my introduction to what is now known as the “Asian Turtle Crisis”. Sadly, the situation remains dismal today. Recent studies show that turtles in the USA also face an extinction crisis. Yet the scale of the problem is largely unappreciated…for example, many conservation-minded people would be surprised to learn that over 12 million turtles were exported from the USA in the last 5 years (please see article below). Please write in for specific information on these and other turtles. Read article here: Turtle Conservation Update, with a Focus on the USA
Comments and questions appreciated

Thanks, Frank
