"Australian reptiles – including freshwater turtles –
are highly sought in the international pet trade. A recent analysis found 170 Australian reptile and amphibian species for sale overseas, particularly in Asian markets. Prosecutions are rare. A claw sample that reveals a wild origin undermines the “captive-bred” defence and gives prosecutors a stronger case."

Australian freshwater turtle conservation
"Australian freshwater turtles support healthy wetlands and rivers. Yet one in three turtle species is threatened with extinction."
"Threats include habitat loss, being eaten by foxes or feral pigs, disease, fire, and moving species into new areas where they breed with existing turtle species. To manage these threats, we need to move beyond engagement to an integrated approach, where conservation advice is co-determined by First Nations people who are closely involved in implementing recovery plans and action plans."
