These critically endangered yearling radiated tortoises were hatched at @turtleconservancy in southern California. Radiated tortoises have widely been considered the most beautiful tortoise in the world. At one time they were believed to be the world’s most numerous as well, though sadly they have since suffered more than an 80% reduction in their native range. Major causes of decline include habitat destruction
for agriculture, horticulture, and charcoal production. Adults are poached for the bushmeat trade, while juveniles are collected illegally for the pet trade by the thousands. Widespread corruption and lack of enforcement under weak governmental control, along with extreme poverty are causing poaching to increase. The @turtleconservancy, where these tortoises were photographed, have partnered with several organizations and zoos to help fight animal trafficking in Madagascar and Asia, identifying trade routes, poachers, and buyers. In April of 2018, more than 10,000 young radiated tortoises were found in a house in Toliara, Madagascar. These animals were sick and held for months without food or water. The Turtle Conservancy went with an international coalition of organizations to triage these animals and help return them to their native range. To see the rescue of these tortoises and learn how you can help, watch the video linked in my bio.
