Madagascar side-necked turtle

Durrell field programme

Durrell Wildlife Park

Conservation partner

The Madagascar side-necked turtle, Erymnochelys madagascariensis, known locally as the rere, is the largest freshwater turtle in Madagascar and the only aquatic turtle species endemic to the island. The rere has suffered widespread population declines across its range in Western Madagascar but successful captive breeding, head-starting and habitat protection offer hope for the species.
