"World Turtle Day" virtual panel discussion
Declines in numbers of turtles can contribute to the breakdown of an ecosystem. Turtles are essential to the biomass of their environment. Like the prairie ecosystem that dwindled, numbers of many native species of turtles have significantly declined. Radio Telemetry Tracking and other technology is it helping researchers track turtles to learn more about the natural habitat that they need to survive. We will hear about some of the organizations and resources in the area that are focused on learning more about what can be done to help increase numbers of turtles.
