More about this organization
Mission
The Turtle Conservancy is dedicated to safeguarding the most vulnerable turtle and tortoise species and their habitats worldwide through conservation, research, education, and community engagement, with a focus on land protection, captive breeding, and global partnerships.
About
Captive breeding program: based in Southern California, the Turtle Conservancy breeds more critically endangered turtles and tortoises in terms of combined species and numbers than any other institution in the world. We manage 16 of the world's 40 most endangered species, and have 720 animals from 36 taxa. During 2018 we hatched 142 endangered turtles and tortoises. The center creates a long-term plan for each species that we breed and defines the desired outcome in terms of potential need for repatriation, reintroduction, or other conservation needs.
