Facts that You may not Know about Tortoises and Freshwater Turtles in Vietnam!
As part of a turtle art contest “Let’s Save Turtles”, the ATP/IMC co-hosted with People and Nature Consolidation (PanNature) and Humane Society International Viet Nam, created some infographics highlighting interesting facts about tortoise and freshwater turtle (TFT) species of Vietnam.
These graphics were developed with the hope of nurturing your understanding about TFT and as well as providing inspiration for your creativity. It should be noted that 24 out of 26 native TFT species are threatened and in need in your support for their long-term survival. Artwork used in the infographics were created by artist Nguyen Doan Son for Education for Nature – Vietnam (ENV)
Come and join the contest, convey your messages and creativity and tell us your story.
