IRS990/Desc0Bolson Program:The Turtle Conservancy has purchased a significant portion (43,540 acres) of the last remaining habitat of the Bolson Tortoise. The Bolson Tortoise inhabits a small area of Bolson de Mapimi in the Chihuahuan Desert of Mexico. The Mapimi Biosphere Reserve was created to protect this species, but much of this land is used for agricultural development and cattle grazing, which is threatening the tortoise's habitat. The acquisition of this land in north central Mexico will protect the tortoise along with all other native flora and fauna including an estimated 28 mammals, over 200 bird species, 5 amphibians, and 39 reptiles.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy2Grp/Desc0Captive Breeding Program: based in Southern California, the Behler Chelonian Center breeds more critically endangered turtles and tortoises in terms of combined species and numbers than any other institution in the world. We manage 16 of the world's 40 most endangered species, and have 850 animals from 36 taxa. During 2016 we hatched 110 endangered turtles and tortoises. The center creates a long-term plan for each species that we breed and defines the desired outcome in terms of potential need for repatriation, reintroduction, or other conservation needs.

IRS990/ProgSrvcAccomActy3Grp/Desc0Geometric Tortoise Program: The Turtle Conservancy, along with its partner organizations, has created a preserve of over 800 acres in South Africa, of critical habitat to create a biodiversity preserve for what is likely to be the last large population for the South African Geometric Tortoise (one of the world's most endangered animals). The Southern Africa Tortoise Conservation Trust (SATCT) was established to purchase the land and manage the reserve and in 2016 the preserve was extended, fenced, invasive plant species eradicated, and populations surveys were initiated. SATCT continues to expand the preserve through partnerships with local land owners.
