Did you know that there are only four specimens of the Yangtze giant softshell turtles left on Earth? Well there is, one in the wild and three in captivity. Now conservation partners from different societies are trying to save this species. On May 5th, 2008, turtle biologists, veterinarians, and zoo staff from different organizations came up with a plan to save the entire species. Their plan was to transport the turtles in order for the turtles to start a reproductive cycle and save the whole species from extinction. Yangtze giant softshell turtles are the most critically endangered species of turtles in the world and extinction risk is higher than ever! In my opinion, I think that this is a serious matter for the Yangtze giant softshell turtles and I hope that eventually, the population of these turtles will increase and become normal again. Also, I hope that in the future, these turtles will become a specie that will last a long time before they become extinct for good. ~Vikinggirl15<3
