Wish Upon A Star. Their Star-Like Radiating Yellow..

WISH UPON A STAR

Their star-like radiating yellow patterns on their shell is quite a stunner. And so, the Indian star tortoises often poached from the wild for the illicit pet trade, making them a vulnerable species listed by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).

Repatriating these reptiles back to India will not only augment the endangered populations in India, but also demonstrate our zero tolerance of the illegal wildlife trade.

HELP US MAKE THIS HAPPEN.
