The TSA is a new organisation to me but I will admire and keep track on them and their very important work for many, many years to come. They are very inspirational
I have a russian tortoise and while i was watching this video it made me happy to know that the TSA helps save other turtles and tortoises because those turtles and toroises could have been my own tortoise.
Wonderful work you are all doing! Thank you for sharing all those gorgeous turtles in this video! Such a pleasure to see them and the work you are doing to save them.
the good thing for the Vietnamese Pond Turtle is that they do well in captivity, a lof of them for sale from breeders and even in Vietnam there are farms for these guys, still super rare in the wild though it seems.
i was interested that my friend just got a free tortoise a baby one and i help her to build a house and i found ur channel now both of us keep watching ur videos :) keep up the good work!
Really like this episode. Beautiful species of turtles, unfortunately that a breeding center like this have to exist. I keep 3 out 5 of these species so I like it very much. Thanks. Love to see some more
I'm definitely going to donate I would love to build ponds for them I have 12 ponds currently for rescuing painted turtles in my area but I can't help you guys hands on because I live in Wisconsin
This place is doing amazing work ...I am an avid supporter of cultural continuation of hunting of wild game as a way of connecting with the heritage of any given people,and with the end of using the animal taken as a food source and NOT for a trophy...I think what you will about this practice but each and everyone of us exist in this world today because of the ancestors we descended from ....the various tribes of hunter gatherers that existed in a state that all of mankind with it’s various races and sub races Down through the generations to where we find ourselves today existed in ...today with so many different ideas about what we should be eating and how we should acquire our food it’s very easy to position oneself On sort of a moral high ground when it comes to such things as hunting wild game for any reason at all ...because of course the facts are that more than likely ,wherever you happen to be in the world there’s not a human being on the planet that MUST kill their own food or even grow it in the form of cultivated vegetation ... and is also easy as we go about our daily grind ,feeling ourselves secure and safe for the most part, to forget that weapons exist in this world that have the ability to fundamentally end civilization on this planet at least as we know it and at which point the surviving members of the human race (should there happened to be any )would find them selves within a generation thrown back in time a thousand years and with only the survival tools pass to them by the last remaining members of our great modern human civilization ...we would be hunter gatherers once again… I don’t mean to get too far off the subject here because the point is these turtles and what the TSA is doing in attempt to sustain and in some cases, literally revive from the brink of extinction and from functional extinction ,species that have been consumed voraciously with no thought to the sustainability of their populations ,the conservation of their kind for future generations or what the world would be like from an eco-impact state of mind without these animals ...make no mistake about it ,whatever you may feel about hunting ,either for good or bad, what has been done to these turtles has nothing in common with what my grandfather did when he taught me to climb a tree stand and to connect with the natural world and to follow in the footsteps of my ancestors by bringing down my first Whitetail deer ...I can tell you with 100% honesty more often than not simply being there in the same space with that magnificent animal was enough for me .I have chosen to keep the safety on and simply watch exponentially more times than I have pulled the trigger ...True hunting is not about a death ...it’s actually about life. So when you hear about a species ,especially one as cool as ANY kind of turtle ,being Pressured to the point of disappearing off the face of the earth for something as useless as the pet trade and as selfish as unchecked use as a food item and even something as culturally significant as traditional Chinese medicine ...it saddens and sickens me to my heart and I simply cannot understand why the use of these animals whether you agree with it or not,would not have been practiced with sustainability and conservation in mind ...why would these animals that are so sought after for various different reasons not be cultivated in a captive breeding farm raised scenario rather than literally eliminating so many wild specimens that the species had no chance to survive it just makes no sense at all
This video made me smile. Such beautiful turtles! According to their website, the TSA center was damaged by the recent flooding in SC. Wishing them all the best as they repair and rebuild the damaged structures. www.turtlesurvival.org/blog/1-blog/379-historic-rain-event-floods-the-turtle-survival-center#.ViahRL3D_qA
TSA is doing great job. It is sad, that people dont understand the importance of these animals and animals at all. How do government applies to TSA, did they support it somehow?
I remember I used to have a Vietnamese pond turtle some 17-18 years ago when I still live in Vietnam. Then someone stole it over night. I didn't know why people steal it until now that I'm watching this video.
Awesome video! love the enclosures, so natural and it seems like it doesn't take up too much space either, btw, how do they get electricity for the filters outdoors?
Asia + turtles. Does it get any better than this? I think not. That big-headed was so cool looking. Great intro on the vid, btw. Thanks for the info on this org, good to know.
Hey Kenan, I know you're probably not going to read this but I have a question. Does the TSA take student internships and are there are TSA centres in europe? Thanks in advance.
Waylon Quiggle this May come as a shock to you but not all information worth having can be found using Google...nor is the information that does happen to be found in google true and accurate simply by virtue of popping up on a google search...in fact some people actually use google to provide intentionally misleading or untrue information about a given topic...”Don’t be too proud of the technological terror you’ve created “(Darth Vader) sometimes you might actually pay off or even be a pleasurable experience to actually do what people used to do which is engage each other in conversation...you ever hear of talking???. Douche bag
do they also have Siebenrockiella leytensis there?.they are critically endangered pond turtle endemic here in the Philippines.thank.keep up the good work idol.
Hi Kenan that Q and A video was really great but I was wondering if you got my questions on Spur Thigh tortoise I did ask you some time ago but may you didn't get my question I love everything you do and I will be ordering a T Shirt soon Kind Regards Barbra. U K
How can u put them back in the wild if they just eat them could u then arrest the poachers of these animal's and lock them up for years until they have a chance to grow and if they get cough t doing it again put trackers on these ruthless killers go straight to jail if cough t any ware around the animal's terratorys .🐢🐢🐢🐢🦏🦏🦈🦈🐡🐡🐳🐳🌸

Something so amazing about the dedication and conservation going into this centre. Thanks for sharing Kenan!

I keep 3 out 5 of these species so I like it very much. Thanks. Love to see some more
another great episode Kenan!
Great place, great episode.
The tortoise featured from 2:24 - 2:28, can anyone tell me what species it is? I've got one but can't figure out what it is.
Box turtle, not tortoise. No I don't know what it is but just look up "cool box turtles" or "exotic" or "Asian box turtle" or something like that.

Painted turtle I guess but you should rescue endangered species but all turtles are equal
