Turtle Conservation and Adventures in Myanmar

On Episode 16 of CheloniaCast Jason, Michael, Jack, and Ken sit down with WCS Herpetologist for Southeast Asia and China Dr. Steven Platt to talk about his work with turtles, particularly in Myanmar. The conversation ranges from rediscovering species thought to be extinct, giant softshell nesting strategies, stories from trekking through the Arakan Hills, and what it is like working with Star Tortoises.
