The Bac Giang city ranger station have been caring for these animals over the past week while the case has been processed and now all animals identified as illegal, are to be transferred to the Turtle Conservation Centre (TCC) at Cuc Phuong National Park.<\/p>\n<p>Eleven turtles of three species including four Big-headed turtle (<em>Platysternon megacephalum)<\/em>, two Impressed tortoise (<em>Manouria impressa),<\/em>\u00a0and five Giant Asian pond turtle (<em>Heosemys grandis<\/em>) from this confiscation have arrived safe and sound at Cuc Phuong today. They will undergo 3-month quarantine where our staff will help the animals recover and rehabilitate them, unfortunately after the stress of the trade it is likely not all will make it. After that we hope to start releases of some back to the wild.<\/p>\n<p>We would like to thank Bac Giang provincial Forest Protection Department (FPD) for their first TFT confiscation of 2017 and for their transfer of these animal to the TCC.<\/p>\n<p>To allow us to release these turtles back into the wild we always need your support, 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>Press release by: Nguyen Thu Thuy \u2013 ATP<br \/>\nDate: 4<sup>th<\/sup>\u00a0April 2017<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Photo gallery<\/strong><\/em><\/p>\n<div id='gallery-1' class='gallery galleryid-2105 gallery-columns-3 gallery-size-full'><figure class='gallery-item'>\n\t\t\t<div class='gallery-icon landscape'>\n\t\t\t\t<a href='https:\/\/indomyanmarconservation.org\/my\/2017-04-turtle_confiscation_in_bac_giang\/turtle_confiscation_in_bac_giang-2\/'><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"800\" height=\"533\" src=\"data:image\/svg+xml,%3Csvg%20xmlns%3D&#39;http%3A%2F%2Fwww.w3.org%2F2000%2Fsvg&#39;%20width=&#39;800&#39;%20height=&#39;533&#39;%20viewBox%3D&#39;0%200%20800%20533&#39;%2F%3E\" data-czlz data-src=\"https:\/\/indomyanmarconservation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/turtle_confiscation_in_Bac_Giang-2.jpg\" class=\"attachment-full size-full\" alt=\"\" aria-describedby=\"gallery-1-2114\" data-srcset=\"https:\/\/indomyanmarconservation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/turtle_confiscation_in_Bac_Giang-2.jpg 800w, https:\/\/indomyanmarconservation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/turtle_confiscation_in_Bac_Giang-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/indomyanmarconservation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/turtle_confiscation_in_Bac_Giang-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/indomyanmarconservation.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/04\/turtle_confiscation_in_Bac_Giang-2-600x400.jpg 600w\" data-sizes=\"(max-width: 800px) 100vw, 800px\" \/><\/a>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<figcaption class='wp-caption-text gallery-caption' id='gallery-1-2114'>\n\t\t\t\t Mr Do Thanh Hao of the Turtle Conservation Centre (TCC) receives the turtles from rangers of Bac Giang Provincial Forest Protection Department (FPD).
