SECRETS OF THE SOFTSHELL: SAVING INDIA’S RAREST TURTLE

Join Conservation Nation grantee and researcher Ayushi Jain on a mission to save one of the world’s rarest turtles — and discover how scientists, communities, and data work together to pull a species back from the edge of extinction. In this LIVE! lesson, students dive into real conservation data from India’s Chandragiri River, explore how local ecological knowledge (LEK) unlocks what science alone can’t find, and see how one researcher is working with fishers, farmers, and engineers to protect the critically endangered Cantor’s giant softshell turtle before it disappears forever.
