TURTLE SURVIVAL ALLIANCE An IUCN Partnership Network for Sustainable Captive Managment of Freshwater Turtles and Tortoises
First captive breeding of the Sulawesi forest turtle, Leucocephalon yuwonoi, by Dr Charlie Innis. See story inside.
The mission of TSA is to develop and maintain an inclusive, broad-based global network of collections of living tortoises and freshwater turtles with the primary goal of maintaining chelonian species over the long term to provide maximum future options for the recovery of wild populations. In memory of Dr. Barbara Bonner 1957-2003 This issue is dedicated to Barb Bonner whose tireless commitment to turtle welfare was unmatched and whose dedication to turtle conservation unwavering. Her contributions to chelonian medicine were pioneering and the void she leaves in our ranks is vast. The turtle world has lost one of its most ardent supporters and passionate advocates. She will be sorely missed.
