Abstract

Restore: The North Woods, the Biodiversity Legal Foundation and a number of turtle experts are petitioning the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service to list the wood turtle as a threatened species on the federal endangered species list. The petition contends that the turtle is disappearing from its native range due to habitat loss, logging, pollution and the activities of collectors. A pair of wood turtles brings $275 in Europe, at least double what it was a few years ago.
