Avec une abondance de pr\u00e9dateurs affam\u00e9s et aucun soin parental une fois \u00e9clos, seules quelques jeunes tortues survivent jusqu'\u00e0 l'\u00e2ge adulte. Lorsqu'on ajoute l'activit\u00e9 humaine \u00e0 l'\u00e9quation, le taux de survie peut \u00eatre si faible qu'une population devient non viable. Depuis 2012, nous travaillons \u00e0 am\u00e9liorer ces chances. En plus de prot\u00e9ger les nids, nous collectons les \u0153ufs dans des nids de tortues vuln\u00e9rables, nous les incubons artificiellement et effectuons le d\u00e9marrage en t\u00eate des

severely impacted by pollution, runoff, climate change, invasive species and large numbers of predators such as raccoons. At least one species native to the area, the northern Pacific pond turtle, has already disappeared from Canada, while others have dropped to such low numbers that their only hope of surviving rests on direct, hands-on conservation.<\/p>\n<p>The recovery plan for Oregon spotted frog calls for\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/fr\/blog\/glossary\/conservation-breeding\/\">l'\u00e9levage de conservation<\/a>,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/fr\/blog\/glossary\/headstarting\/\">d'aide au d\u00e9marrage<\/a>\u00a0and release to re-establish viable populations in at least six sites.

We also began collecting adults found living alone or in such small groups that effective breeding was unlikely. These turtles form the nucleus of a conservation breeding population. We headstart hatchlings for at least a year, until they are too large to be eaten by their major predators: bullfrogs that have been introduced to British Columbia.

Initial results suggest these individuals are thriving in the wild.<\/p>\n<p>Surveys continually turn up an unexpectedly large number of healthy young turtles that we released the previous years. We plan to expand our reach and rear turtles from populations further north up the Sunshine Coast. We have seen the positive impacts of releasing Oregon spotted frogs to historic populations, with long term data reflecting that our releases have helped stabilize these populations. We continue to work with our partners to research and refine methods for rearing both species to produce the largest number of healthy individuals and make the greatest conservation impact.<\/p>\n<p>In 2019 we were also able to monitor wild populations full time during nesting.
