Hi,
I find myself new here in this forum. I used the term "conservation" in the search box, got really poor results, not much interest here in your overall group.
I like pet tortoises, and have had a few turtles or tortoises pretty much for the past 45 years. But I have also volunteered with in-situ conservation efforts.
BTW in-situ more or less means in the original place, as it pertains to tortoises it would mean wild ones. In this vein of thought ex-situ would mean our pets.
So, wondering the following . . .
Have you seen a tortoise in the wild (not a zoo, nature center etc.) - in the wild like camping if Florida, or taking a walk in southern CA say at Joshua Tree NP, and just happen to see one?
I'd have made a pole, an option at the bottom of the screen, but again the help menu was useless for that purpose.
Maybe a moderator could repost my question with the pole attached?
The question is "Have you seen a wild tortoise?"

I see, the poll 'wizard' pops up after you hit the 'post' button.
