Turtle Survival Alliance

Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation

Turtle Survival Alliance

Formed in 2001 and gaining nonprofit status in 2004, Turtle Survival Alliance is a global conservation organization that works to create a planet where tortoises and freshwater turtles can thrive in the wild. Our science-based initiatives are directed by local leaders, inspiring sustainable, community-based stewardship to prevent extinctions. Where populations cannot yet thrive in the wild, our captive breeding programs preserve opportunities for their future survival.

Okinawa Kame Center

Sanibel-Captiva Conservation Foundation

Turtle Survival Alliance

The yamagame (Geoemyda japonica Fan, 1931) is a small forest dwelling species found in the Ryukyu archipelago of southern Japan, namely on Okinawa Island, Kume Island, and Tokashiki Island. In 2019, Aya Narukiyo and Dr. Zach Bell heard Mr. Otani’s many stories about the yamagame and wanted to help him. By 2020, they founded the Okinawa Kame Centre, a nonprofit organisation focused on protecting and conserving the yamagame, and their habitat, on Okinawa Island.
