1565: Call for Citizen Scientists this World Turtle Day

Monday 23 May is World Turtle Day, an initiative honouring the
extraordinary species of turtles and tortoises globally.



Many species around the world are threatened with extinction; the
freshwater turtles of the Lower Murray are no exception.

Professor Mike Thompson joins Jennie Lenman to discuss the
fascinating species and how locals can help ensure the future of
the species, with the 1 Million Turtles Community Conservation
Program and the National Nest Predation Experiment at Paiwalla
Wetlands, 15km north of Murray Bridge.
