5:48 am
foot so strike. the tool box contains nail polish in all colors of the rainbow the caretakers paint the shells of the young tortoises to help identify where in the conservation center they're being kept the tortoises live in special enclosures that are open to the sky but with nets to help prevent them from predators. that's essential to their survival not long ago elongated tortoises were upgraded to critically endangered on the international union for conservation of nature red list. mischa meyerhoff is the a c c b s director he came here from germany more than 5 years ago to work on animal conservation projects especially ones involving birds and turtles. there are about $360.00 different species of turtle including the land tortoises what many people don't
5:49 am
realize is that when the next red list is published about 60 percent of all turtles worldwide will be listed as threatened endangered or critically endangered there's a world wide turtle crisis right now and cambodia and asia in general are no exception. the long gated tortoises are rarely sold in local markets anymore only one of the 14 turtle species in cambodia is not endangered turtles are eaten in cambodia and used in traditional medicine life turtles are also sold as pets. in cambodia turtles and tortoises are believed to bring good fortune releasing one year a temple is believed to bring along life just. birds are believed to carry away any bad karma catching animals and selling them so they can be released is a big business even though it's illegal. for amazon like when we have turtles he had no longer bourses food that bought to be released at temples or in lakes and

jungles otherwise they would end up in cooking pots the small ones of his soup while the big ones of his steam cooking. comes. to turtle sell here for the equivalent of $5.00. what's supposed to bring long life for believers usually spells death for the animals after they're released. but a lucky few turtles and tortoises end up in c.c. be like this one it was also released at a temple. or look at there's carving inside. you normally like something the people do is grab something in the cellar when they give it to them on. so this is no reason it should close on and this is
5:51 am
a giant asian pons turtle in this case a relatively large male and we've received 5 of these i think over the past 5 years and it's listed as vulnerable on the red list we don't see them very often in markets here in cambodia that's usually a sign that a species has become relatively rare in size and it's just we hardly ever get one as big as this. that we have possibly. the team is about to operate on the turtle it has an injury inside its shell for the moment the animal gets a painkiller. the. next day mao and her colleague prepare food for the animals 600 turtles and tortoises live here all of them from endangered species breeding them in captivity has proven difficult but the elongated tortoises appear to need just fresh air and food the rest they can manage for themselves. when i started here 5 and
5:52 am
a half years ago we had about 20 long gated tortoises thanks to our breeding program we now have 338 a c b that's not a bad start. so far a c c b hasn't been able to release any elongated tortoises into the wild it's too dangerous the animals would be captured again in short order. that's why michelle meyerhoff is hoping to bring the elongated tortoise here this woodland this home to the last 5 large siamese rosewood trees in all of southeast asia one tree can fetch more than 100000 your oaths this patch of forest is under guard which could also offer protection to the tortoises. think. we'd like to release the animals that are sexually mature into the wild the ones that are 5 or 6 years old will probably spend the next few years carrying out research to answer various questions for example about their use of habitats then we hope to
5:53 am
launch a pilot project with 20 or 30 tortoises that will tag with the transmitter and release into the wild so. for now though the tortoises still need the shelter of the conservation center and they need mao who is tending to them. they like to come in even in camp baseball we put food even in camp. plenty it being played like to play. the man have a lot to scratch here but the mayor than because the mayor is on the top if we. perhaps this tortoise will be among the 1st released so that one day soon a new generation of elongated tortoises will be born in the wild. in the shell with our visits to a global living room this time in ecuador. or
