Turtle Conservancy News and Program Updates
We are delighted to share that two Impressed tortoises have hatched at our conservation center! This vulnerable, and elusive, species is native to scattered areas of mainland Southeast Asia, where its occurrence is restricted to the higher altitude bamboo and scrub forest slope habitats of the hill and low mountain range areas...
It’s unmistakably mating and nesting season for many turtles at the TC! This month we have seen nests from our Parrot-beaked Tortoises and critically endangered Impressed Tortoises. These species are rarely bred in captivity due to their secretive habits, delicate environmental needs, and specific diets. We consider it a major success that the breeding females were born here at the TC!
