Turtles In Trouble

The sight of a turtle basking on a log has always been a pleasant part of any visit to an Ontario wetland. But the presence of these species, something we once took for granted, is now being threatened.

Six of the eight species have been identified by COSEWIC (the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada) as being at risk. Most turtle populations are declining and unless drastic measures are taken, scientists fear that several species may disappear from our province.
