TFTSG Membership Database
The following is a print-out of the TFTSG Membership Database for the 2009-2012 IUCN Quadrennium. The information available here is for TFTSG networking and data-sharing purposes and all members are encouraged to reach out to each other as pertinent based on areas of expertise and geographic or taxonomic focus. As you face turtle conservation-relevant issues in your area or concerning species you care about or wish to focus on, consider using this network to find potential collaborators or sources of information or assistance. Either search the database using the built-in "Find" feature for your web-browser, or scroll through or print out the entire database.
This database is for the private use of individual TFTSG members only and should not be shared with anyone.
Do not abuse the privacy of our members by distributing or sharing personal information.

(send changes for this database to Anders Rhodin),
and especially if you change your email
(then also notify Darrell Senneke at [email protected] in order to be updated on the TFTSG listerve).
Much of the data in this database for members that filled out data sheets during the 2004-2008 Quadrennium needs to be updated. Please check the database carefully for your own information and provide us with corrections and updates. Thank you.
