Asian Turtle Program<\/a><\/h1>\n<\/div><\/div>[\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]The Asian Turtle Program<\/a> (ATP) is Indo-Myanmar Conservation\u2019s flagship program focusing on the conservation of tortoises and freshwater turtles in Southeast Asia. It was established in 1998 and incorporated into IMC in 2015.[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]ATP originated with the development of the Turtle Conservation Centre (TCC) at Cuc Phuong National Park, Vietnam and, as a result, much of the work in the previous 20 years has been focused in Vietnam, where, of the 26 confirmed species<\/a> here, 6 are listed as Vulnerable, 9 are Endangered and 7 are Critically Endangered, according to IUCN\u2019s Red List (2020).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/2″][vc_column_text]ATP\u2019s aim is to establish a safe and sustainable future for Asian turtles and ensure that no further turtle species become extinct in the region. This is done through conducting research in situ<\/em> and ex situ<\/em>, protecting habitats, raising awareness and building expertise.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column]
