The Heinz Sielmann Foundation (Gut Herbigshagen in Duderstadt) is promoting project funding for the benefit of the European pond turtle (even with its own stamp). Originally widely represented throughout Germany, it became almost eradicated. In the past it was widely used as a fasting food, but today the main problem is the destruction of the habitat (drainage of land, road construction, environmental destruction). When it comes to species protection, I am with the above foundation, but also with the Action Group for Species Protection (AGA) or The rescue station for reptiles, Munich e.V. (headed by Dr. Markus Baur) has been involved for a long time. The nature conservation association NABU is also committed to protecting species, the environment and the climate. Overall, the European pond turtle is of particular concern to me and there are several books on this specific topic alone. Current information is also 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).
