Yangtze Giant Softshell Turtle Needs Your Help

Please help save this magnificent creature with a DONATION TO THE TSA. The TSA and WCS are mounting a last ditch effort to save Rafetus swinhoei from extinction. Phase 1 - getting the last two specimens in China together for captive breeding - cost over $25,000. Phase II - bringing incubators and technical training to ensure successful egg incubation - will be costly as well.
