The wildlife biologist, and outdoor adventurer and his film crew work at Dong Mo Lake, Hoan Kiem Lake and other lakes to investigate the story of the world rarest turtle species, Swinhoe\u2019s Softshell Turtle (<em>Rafetus swinhoei<\/em>), in Vietnam and the work being done by the Asian Turtle Program (ATP) of Indo Myanmar Conservation (IMC) and our partners.<\/p>\n<p>This one hour long special episode for \u201cExtinct or Alive\u201d is scheduled to be aired on the famous Animal Planet Channel this summer in the US and we hope it highlights this incredible species, we are confident it will successfully convey the story of the species and the hope we have for its conservation. The ATP\/IMC strongly believes we have other locations where more animals survive and we need more people on the ground involved in the search.<\/p>\n<p>An Alliance for Rafetus Conservation has now been formed with the ATP\/IMC, Wildlife Conservation Society (WCS), Turtle Survival Alliance (TSA), Global Wildlife Conservation (GWC) and Centre Resources and Environmental Studies (CRES).
