A Force for Turtles

Cheloniacast, accompanied by Charlie Moorcroft, sits down to talk with Chris and Casey Leone. With over 30 years of experience working with turtles. The Leones are dedicated to using preservation and conservation methods as well as education and outreach to promote the long term conservation of turtles and tortoises threatened with extinction. Additionally Garden State Tortoise is a huge contributor to The Terrapin Conservation Initiative, a program aiming to save the Northern Diamondback Terrapin. The conversation focuses on Mediterranean tortoises and captive keeping of Testudo Tortoises. Additionally there is some discussion of the Terrapin Conservation Initiative.
