Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Posted with permission of kingsnake.com:

I am a board member of a herpetological society that is considering donating some money to organizations who aim to help herps, be it through doing research or conservation efforts. In order to better choose which organizations we should consider, we would like some suggestions from the kingsnake.com community.

If you know of a particular organization that you think is particularly deserving, please post it's name here or email me with the information.

A similar post will be placed in other forums, so please suggest organizations only related to helping out tortoises.

Thank you for your help.

Californial Desert Tortoise Council, Turtle Survival Alliance and Turtle Homes. These organizations seem to show up the most in the cases of direct impact on Chelonian conservation.

I am in charge of the late Dr. Barbara Bonner's Scholorship Fund associated with The Tortoise Reserve and Turtle Homes Rescue Inc. We are raising money to award scholorships to vet students who show an interest in reptile medicine and particularly in turtle and tortoise medicine. This fund is to carry on the name and legacy of Dr. Bonner who promoted conservation and developed many new treatment protocols for captive turtles and tortoises. Please email Turtlehomes@aol.com if you are interested in donating to this fund. More info will be available soon.
Best wishes,
Mike N.

I wasn't aware of this fund or I would have put it in front of the list I suggested. This is one person who is very well worth remembering with such a memory.
