Reptile & Amphibian Forums

I've seen the list and was wondering if you might consider putting it on a poster? My thought was it would be more visable at expos and other events and would help educate and inform other herpers about their plight. Also any thoughts on this topic would be interesting. I'm very much passionate about my tortoises and like to further my knowlege on other rare species and try to do my part to help.
Thanks for your input,
Chad

Hi Chad,

I believe this information is in poster format and will be displayed by the Turtle Survival Alliance (www.turtlesurvival.org) at the shows it attends... As the World Chelonian Trust is able to attend more shows though, this is a very good idea and I'll run it by their director.

In terms of furthering your knowledge, there are literally hundreds upon hundreds of pages of information available at the WCT website accessible via the link below. Hundreds upon hundreds. You can also find information available at the home pages of the Turtle Survival Alliance (www.turtlesurvival.org) as well as a variety of other sites... The following links page is pretty thorough.

You might also want to join a variety of list serves such as the WCT list, the Russian Tortoise list, and others.

Good luck!

Chad,

I have just found out that no poster of the top 25 was made. We are working on rectifying that now though- yourself and others have requested posters for just such a purpose. Thank-you for the input.

Also, I wanted to clarify something about the World Chelonian Trust web site. When I said "In terms of furthering your knowledge, there are literally hundreds upon hundreds of pages of information available at the WCT website accessible via the link below. Hundreds upon hundreds." I understated things a tad.

There are actually 4,500 files on the web site which include around 16,000 internal hyperlinks as well as 9,000 external hyperlinks for further information. It is the most complete chelonian site on the Web and would take weeks to wade through all of the information. Enjoy and thanks again!

Thanks Chris! I look forward to purchasing a poster and maybe the proceeds would go to WCT or the turtle survival Alliance.
Thanks,
Chad
