The Heinz Sielmann Foundation (Gut Herbigshagen in Duderstadt) is advertising here with the motif of the European pond turtle. Originally common throughout Germany, it was almost eradicated. It used to be a popular food during fasting, but today the main problem is the destruction of its habitat (draining of areas, road construction, environmental destruction). When it comes to species protection, I have long been involved with the above foundation, but also with the Action Group for Species Protection (AGA) and the Munich Reptile Rescue Center (led by Dr. Markus Baur). The Nature Conservation Association NABU is also committed to species, environmental and climate protection. Overall, the European pond turtle is of particular concern to me and there are several books on this specific topic alone. In addition, current information is available, for example, from the good turtle magazine "MARGINATA" (Andreas Hennig, Leipzig). Further information can be found in the virtual museum under "Search: European pond turtle" (or species protection).
