#SpringIsComing on #Woerr , #France too. The #European #pond #turtle E661 was part of the 100 ones released in Sept 2022. It survived winter, fox, raccoon and all what we even would not expect! SLAVA!! Emys population #monitoring by @IPHC_Strasbourg and @KTheissinger teams soon!

After they left PCA conservatory facility, all Emys were checked at #MulhouseZoo before their #translocation to #Woerr where teams from @IPHC_Strasbourg and @KTheissinger will start their monitoring. #ForNature @INEE_CNRS

7-10 April 2023: Closing Emys conservatory husbandry at Petite Camargue Alsacienne, FR

Since the target of 500 released #Emys has been reached by the FR local council CeA, the Emys conservatory husbandry of Petite Camargue Alsacienne is shutting down. Twenty one adult Emys were captured by Komlan Toudji and Jean-Yves Georges then driven to #Mulhouse zoo for a pre-release veterinary check by Dr Vet Benoît Quintard before being translocated to the #Woerr release site. #PetiteCamargueAlsacienne
