Turtle triage

Article Abstract:

Turtles and tortoises are fast disappearing from the Asian continent, as most of them are sold in markets for food and for ingredients in traditional Chinese medicine. The Swiss-based World Conservation Union's (IUCN) Turtle Survival Alliance has established dozens of breeding centers across the US and Europe to save the rarest species like Pelodiscus sinensis and many others.
