Is she still involved with her Malibu based rescue? I adopted a few turtles from her years ago. She seemed like a very nice and dedicated lady. But I seem to recall she was closing up a few years back. I may be mistaken....
She and her husband are still in the same location in Southern California, however, they no longer take in tortoises. Now they are strictly conservation and public appearances telling the tortoise conservation story. They became over-run with sulcatas and this helped them in making their decision to educate the public.
