Tortoise Trust Research in Spain

In 2009 we relocated our base to Spain and began a long term research project on tortoise biology and ecology in the Mediterranean to increase our understanding of how tortoises behave in nature with the aim of developing improved conservation strategies and new techniques in captive husbandry. This is now the main focus of our efforts.
