TORTOISE TRUST
Tortoise Trust Research in Spain
During November-December 2009 we began a long term research
project on tortoise biology and ecology in the Mediterranean to
increase our understanding of how tortoises behave in nature. Already,
we are gathing useful data related to natural hibernation processes.
Follow our regular reports in the Tortoise Trust Newsletter and on our
users online forum.
