Preserving Options for the Recovery of Wild Populations

TURTLE SURVIVAL ALLIANCE An IUCN Partnership Network for Sustainable Captive Management of Freshwater Turtles and Tortoises

The future for Pan’s box turtle (Cuora pani) got a little brighter when two TSA partner institutions, Zoo Atlanta and Riverbanks Zoo, successfully hatched this poorly known Chinese endemic in 2004. Shown here is the Riverbanks Zoo specimen at nearly one year of age. 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.
