While human activity in their environment has caused a decline in the population, now, human intervention is attemping to conserve this tortoise....With his research, I hope the population will increase soon.
Hi Yvonne! I've been so busy wih my studies lately and that's made it hard to post much. But I still lurk once in a while. Yes, that's me in the story. I'm working to wrap up my dissertation by the end of 2014 and to get funding for a post-doc study I'm chasing. I'm headed to east Africa next week to collect DNA (blood) samples from wild pancake tortoises!
