In-situ research

 

In July 2008 financial support was given by pelusios.com to Tomas Diagne, chair TSA-Africa, to lead a field survey concerning the in-situ status of Pelusios species to the countries of Benin, Togo and Ghana in West Africa. The field research will take a period of 5 weeks and will be done in October and November of 2008.

Upon return from the field survey, Mr. Diagne will write an article for the TSA newsletter, the Turtle and Tortoise Newsletter and the Chelonian Conservation and Biology. However, www.pelusios.com will also receive information and photos from Mr. Diagne.
