The Turtles of India

On Episode 17 of CheloniaCast Jason, Michael, Jack, and Ken sit down with Anuja Mital to talk about her research on the community ecology and habits of India's turtles. Anuja is currently a PhD student in the Integrative Conservation and Ecology Program at the University of Georgia, and recieved her masters from A.V.C. College in India. This exciting conversation touches on a variety of topics including the life history of Morenia petersi, differences in habitat use among speciees of turtle within the Sarju and Ghagra Rivers, what it is like to do field work in a remote part of India, and the future of conservation.
