This weekend, everyone's friend, Gerard, was fortunate enough to play with a group of some of the rarest turtle species on the planet, the Southern River Terrapin Batagur affinis. This stuff doesn't get old!

Thanks just doing my part ( If I am located in their range would not mind releasing some or all every year )

My part as in if anything happen in their home range in Malaysia , mine can act as insurance re-population breeder !! ( just a thought )

You have the right idea for sure Sam. Need to see of you are in the range. Bet bet would be to get into contact with a TSA organization nearest to you. They would need to be inspected and tested before a release effort could take place. I can forward some information to you PM with some organizations nearest to you.
