VIETNAM JANUARY 2018<\/p>\n<\/div>

<\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>

A trip to Vietnam was organized in January 2018 with the breeder Herbert BECKER, a leading European specialist in aquatic turtle breeding, reputed to successfully reproduce, and for several decades, many Cuora<\/em> species naturally present in Vietnam.
\nFor example, he worked in collaboration with O.N.G. Asian Turtle Program (ATP) and Cuc Phuong National Park on a breeding program of Mauremys annamensis<\/em>.<\/p>\n

To our delight, we were accompanied by the founding members of the Swiss association “Protection and Recovery of Turtles” (PRT), Jean-Marc DUCOTTERD and his daughter Charlotte, a biologist who worked on the populations of European pond turtle (Emys orbicularis<\/em>) in Switzerland.<\/p>\n

During this trip, the team of Asian Turtle Program allowed us to discover the natural habitat of Cuora galbinifrons<\/em> within the Khe Go Reserve, then that of Cuora bourreti<\/em> on the Bach Ma National Park. We ended this journey by visiting the breeding farms of Mauremys annamensis<\/em>.<\/p>\n<\/div>
