Aussie Ark committed to providing Manning River Turtles with a better and brighter future

Sadly, the future of many turtle species is threatened by feral predators, habitat destruction and global warming.

In Australia, more specifically in the Barrington Tops region of NSW, the Endangered Manning River turtle is more vulnerable than ever, due in part by the 2019-20 bushfire crisis and severe drought.

Aussie Ark launched the first-ever conservation breeding program for the Manning River turtles, hand in hand with the Australian Reptile Park, Global Wildlife Conservation, the Turtle Conservancy and NSW Environment Ministry.
