The Turtle Conservancy (TC) is a conservation organization that aims to protect endangered turtles, tortoises, and their habitats worldwide.[1]
TC has supported projects in China,[2] Guyana, India, Mexico, Madagascar, Nicaragua, Pakistan, South Africa, the Philippines, and the United States. It has also been involved in projects in Southeast Asia, where they investigated the illegal animal trade.[3]
Programs
[edit]TC's conservation strategies include habitat protection, restoration, and stewardship, animal reintroduction, and a fieldwork grant program. It works within five main domains: species conservation, protection of wild lands, research science, global awareness and education, and illegal trade prevention.[citation needed]
