Argentina Red-footed Tortoise Release

Fantastic News! Forty red-footed tortoises (Chelonoidis carbonarius) will soon be in the process of being reintroduced to the El Impenetrable Park in Argentina. These unique and giant species of redfoots were last seen in the wild 20 years ago. The Turtle Conservancy is proud to be a supporting organization to the Rewilding Argentina team. A special thank you to our board members, Martin Dieck and Rick Ridgeway, for their support to make this possible.
