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 turtles.

Thank you for your help.

I suggest Kate & Frank Slavens of the Western Pond Turtle Project. www.pondturtle.com They were the first to recognize and document how endangered this species is, in 1990, and have been working on habitat protection, radio tracking, and headstarting ever since.
