Mexico has the second-highest diversity of turtles in the world, but about half of them are poorly known or lack published natural history data. Turtle Survival Alliance and the Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund support the work of Eduardo Reyes Grajales to research the Pacific Coast Musk Turtle (Staurotypus salvinii) in Chiapas, Mexico. This species is classified as Endangered due to habitat loss, pollution, and over-exploitation. There is a pressing need to study this species, not only to preserve itself but also to preserve the health and biodiversity of the freshwater systems it depends on.
