Abstract
The Turtle Survival Alliance/Wildlife Conservation Society (TSA/WCS) Team faced challenges on many fronts this past year in the unrelenting struggle to save the imperiled turtles and tortoises of Myanmar.
Our principle efforts remain focused on species endemic, or nearly so, to Myanmar, namely the Burmese Star Tortoise (Geochelone platynota), Burmese Roofed Turtle (Batagur trivittata), Burmese Peacock Softshell Turtle (Nilssonia formosa), and Burmese Narrow-headed Softshell Turtle (Chitra vandijkii).
