Freshwater Turtles and Tortoises of India (FTTI)

Une application de science et d'apprentissage citoyenne sur les tortues et les tortues d'eau douce indiennes

This app includes information on the freshwater turtles and tortoise species of India with species-page information on their identification features, habitats, geographical distribution, and basic ecology. It also includes a citizen science observations component for participants to upload sightings of turtles and tortoises from across the country and identify them. FTTI provides a platform for students, researchers and biodiversity enthusiasts (especially herpers!) in documenting much needed information on turtles. Through this citizen science module, your turtle/tortoise pictures help us know more about these neglected yet ecologically significant species by creating a comprehensive database on turtles and their distribution. Your sightings can contribute to prioritizing efforts to conserving these elusive and uncommon species and their habitats
