On September 20th, 2023, the very first two Sulawesi forest turtle (Leucocephalon yuwonoia) hatched at the Turtle Conservancy.
Turtle Conservancy received a group of mentioned turtles confiscated from the illegal trade, which are now housed at our conservation center in California. After several unsuccessful breeding seasons, we are thrilled to announce the hatching of the first two Sulawesi Forest Turtle at the Turtle Conservancy. This achievement signifies a new beginning in the battle to prevent the extinction of this critically endangered species.
This reptile stands as one of the most mysterious and least-studied turtle species globally. It remains largely elusive in the wild, with limited observations and scant knowledge of its life history. Officially described for the first time in 1995, this turtle species is unique to Indonesia’s Sulawesi island.
