Building a Comprehensive Chelonian Conservation Program in Myanmar

Scale up pilot projects for highly threatened turtle species in Myanmar by establishing a group of free-living Burmese star tortoise (Geochelone platynota), demonstrating that reintroduction is a feasible conservation strategy. Augment the wild population of Burmese roofed turtle (Kachuga trivittata), and generate lessons for future reintroductions. Prioritize conservation actions for Burmese eyed turtle (Morenia ocellata) through studies of its conservation status and natural history.
