📰 North Carolina’s Smallest Turtle, Saved by Dogs
🌎 NC: Conservation groups are using specially trained detection dogs to locate threatened bog turtles, North America’s smallest turtle, and even find their hard-to-spot nests. The dogs can uncover turtles far more efficiently than traditional survey methods.
🐢 Bog turtles face threats from habitat loss, illegal collection for the pet trade, and damage to mountain wetlands. The species relies on rare high-elevation bog habitats that also support many other plants and animals.
🐕 A three-year pilot program led by The Nature Conservancy, the Amphibian and Reptile Conservancy, and the N.C. Wildlife Resources Commission is helping researchers track turtles, monitor nesting sites, and improve conservation efforts.
🤝 Innovative partnerships, conservation technology - and sometimes dogs - are giving threatened species a better chance for recovery.
