Endangered Turtle Recovery in India

TSA India Program Director, Dr. Shailendra Singh, reports that the first nests of both the Red-crowned Roofed Turtle, and the Three-striped Roofed Turtle have hatched in India!

Located in the National Chambal Sanctuary within the Rajasthan, Madhya Pradesh and Uttar Pradesh states of northern India, our nest protection program has a team of workers who identify naturally-laid nests, relocate and fence in clutches of eggs, and keep watch over the “nest field” for the duration of the incubation period.

This year, a large cohort of hatchlings of Red-crowned Roofed Turtle will be head-started for four months at the Gharhaita Turtle Conservation Centre in Uttar Pradesh before their release into the Chambal River.

Additionally, two large cohorts of Red-crowned Roofed Turtle and Three-striped Roofed Turtle will be head-started for one year at the Deori Eco Centre in Morena, India.
