From the rivers of Colombia to the jungles of Belize and the mountains of Mexico, join us on May 14th at 11:00 AM with five conservation leaders as they explore the remarkable diversity of turtle and tortoise species across Latin America and the Caribbean. This webinar will highlight both some of the region’s most understudied and most threatened species, showcasing how genetics, field research, population monitoring, conservation breeding, and community-based conservation programs are helping to fill critical knowledge gaps and drive recovery efforts across diverse landscapes. A live Q&A with our panelists will follow, offering the opportunity to ask questions and gain firsthand insight into their work in the field.
