Reportedly, these turtles were being transported illegally by a man who lives in Van Quan district, Lang Son province who has been fined 6 million VND (approx. 300USD) for purchasing and transporting illegal wildlife.<\/p>\n<p>We would like to thank Lang Son provincial Forest Protection Department (FPD) for their confiscation and rapid transfer of these animal to the TCC. We aim to undertake our first release of Keeled Box Turtles in May or June this year from animals that have been rehabilitated following big confiscations in 2015 and 2016.<\/p>\n<p>If you would like to support our rescues and upcoming releases this summer, please make your donation through our website at\u00a0<a href=\"http:\/\/www.asianturtleprogram.org\/pages\/support_atp.html\">http:\/\/www.asianturtleprogram.org\/pages\/support_atp.html<\/a><\/p>\n<p>Date: 14<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0April 2017<br \/>\nPress release by: Hoang Van Ha &#8211; ATP\/IMC and Do Thanh Hao &#8211; TCC<\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2095 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-thumbnail'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon portrait'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/indomyanmarconservation.org\/my\/2017-04-keeled_box_turtles_confiscated_in_lang_son\/2017-04-lang-son-tft-rescue-dth-r-2wtmk\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"150\" height=\"150\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D&#39;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&#39;%20width=&#39;150&#39;%20height=&#39;150&#39;%20viewBox%3D&#39;0%200%20150%20150&#39;%2F%3E\" data-czlz data-src=\"https:\/\/indomyanmarconservation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/2017-04-Lang-Son-TFT-Rescue-DTH-R-2wtmk-e1571653149873-150x150.jpg\" class=\"attachment-thumbnail size-thumbnail\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2117\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/indomyanmarconservation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/2017-04-Lang-Son-TFT-Rescue-DTH-R-2wtmk-e1571653149873-150x150.jpg 150w, https:\/\/indomyanmarconservation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/2017-04-Lang-Son-TFT-Rescue-DTH-R-2wtmk-e1571653149873-600x600.jpg 600w, https:\/\/indomyanmarconservation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/2017-04-Lang-Son-TFT-Rescue-DTH-R-2wtmk-e1571653149873-100x100.jpg 100w, https:\/\/indomyanmarconservation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/2017-04-Lang-Son-TFT-Rescue-DTH-R-2wtmk-e1571653149873-300x300.jpg 300w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 150px) 100vw, 150px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2117'>\n\t\t\t\tThe ATP and TCC team receiving the turtles from Van Quan district rangers in Lang Son province, Vietnam.
