TFTSG Support

The IUCN/SSC Tortoise and Freshwater Turtle Specialist Group (TFTSG) has received generous support at various times over several years from the following dedicated organizations and individuals, for which we are truly and eternally grateful.

Most of this support has been focused on our regional IUCN Red Listing workshops, our CITES evaluation efforts, and our Chelonian Research Foundation-associated publications and science-based documentation of the ecology, biology, taxonomy, distribution, conservation status, and threats to turtles and tortoises around the world.

Please consider supporting our ongoing and ever more critically-needed efforts to understand and preserve turtles around the world by making a tax-deductible contribution to the Tortoise and Freshwater Turtle Specialist Group through our partner, Chelonian Research Foundation (an IRS-designated 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization), 564 Chittenden Drive, Arlington, VT 05250 USA.

Thank you from all of us on behalf of all the turtles of the world.
