Oklahoma Department of Wildlife (ODWC) Partnership / Turtle Survival Alliance

The Turtle Survival Alliance (TSA) has one powerful goal: “zero turtle extinctions.” 

            To achieve this goal, TSA works in turtle hotspots.  (for example  in Madagascar ) SA spearheads enforcement of laws protecting turtles from poaching for food and export to pet markets. In Myanmar, TSA has reproduced two nearly extinct species, the Burmese star tortoise and Burmese roofed turtle, in breeding centers and has reintroduced captive bred individuals to the wild. Both species are now making strong comebacks.

TSA has also established the Turtle Survival Center, a large captive breeding center in South Carolina. Turtles lend themselves well to being kept and reproduced in a relatively small amount of space. The Turtle Survival Center is home to 600 turtles representing 32 of the world’s most critically endangered species. The center manages healthy, self-sustaining captive populations that currently have little chance of survival in the wild.

(tree species of critically endangered Vietnamese box turtles bred and maintained at TSA’s Turtle Survival Center.)

           The Zoo is helping TSA achieve its goal of zero turtle extinctions by providing financial support. This money has been used to support the Turtle Survival Center and to help fund the rescue and rehabilitation of confiscated turtles.  

 For TSA  helping the rare species turtle is the main goal that have to achieve
