itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>In the wetlands of B.C.\u2019s Fraser Valley, western painted turtles face many challenges, especially as eggs and tiny hatchlings. With no shortage of hungry predators and no care from their parents once they\u2019ve hatched, only a few young turtles survive to become adults. When you add human activity to the mix, the rate of survival can be so low that a population becomes unsustainable. Since 2012, we\u2019ve been working to improve those odds. In addition to protecting nests, we collect eggs from vulnerable turtle nests, artificially incubate them and head-start new hatchlings before releasing them back into the wild.\u2060<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><\/div><div  class='flex_column av-1xqh7pf-e128c7446df5deb8a26b4dabcf91cb1d av_one_full  avia-builder-el-7  el_after_av_one_full  avia-builder-el-last  first flex_column_div  column-top-margin'     ><section  class='av_textblock_section av-lhhw4chy-aa454b3cb046e7738309ca6a19e726c6'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p><strong>WILDLIFE PRESERVATION CANADA&#8217;S WESTERN PAINTED TURTLE RECOVERY PROGRAM RECEIVES PRESTIGIOUS SILVER SALAMANDER AWARD<\/strong><em><br \/>\n<\/em><\/p>\n<p><strong>Guelph, ON<\/strong> &#8211; Wildlife Preservation Canada (WPC) is proud to announce that our Western Painted Turtle Recovery Program, which is a part of the Coastal Painted Turtle Project, has been honored with the Canadian Herpetological Society\u2019s prestigious Silver Salamander Award. The award was presented last week at the Society\u2019s annual conference, recognizing the project\u2019s significant contributions to the recovery of the western painted turtle population in British Columbia.<\/p>\n<p>Andrea Gielens, Lead Biologist for WPC\u2019s B.C. Recovery Programs, accepted the award on behalf of the entire Coastal Painted Turtle team. This includes the Metro Vancouver Regional Parks, the Greater Vancouver Zoo, the Ministry of Forests, Lands and Natural Resource Operations, and the Leq&#8217;\u00e1:mel, Kwantlen, Skowkale, Aitchelitz and Yakweakwioose First Nations.\u2060<\/p>\n<p>Les pluviers siffleurs <strong>Silver Salamander Award<\/strong> is presented annually to an individual or organization for notable achievements in the conservation of amphibians and reptiles in Canada. This award highlights the impactful work of local individuals dedicated to preserving Canada\u2019s biodiversity. Nominations come from the Local Organizing Committee and the Board of Directors, ensuring that the award represents the highest standards of conservation excellence.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>About WPC&#8217;s Western Painted Turtle Recovery Program<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>Since 2012, the program has been a key initiative of WPC\u2019s efforts to recover and protect western painted turtles in the wetlands of British Columbia. Western painted turtles, especially in their vulnerable hatchling stage, face significant challenges from natural predators and human activity. The team works to improve survival rates by protecting nests, incubating collected eggs, and head-starting hatchlings before releasing them into the wild.<\/p>\n<p>These efforts, conducted in partnership with local communities, regional parks, and First Nations groups, have been instrumental in restoring hope for the survival of the western painted turtle in B.C. Through hands-on conservation strategies, the project continues to play a crucial role in reversing the declining population of this iconic species.<\/p>\n<h3><strong>Learn More &amp; Support Conservation Efforts<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p>To learn more about Wildlife Preservation Canada\u2019s Fraser Valley Wetlands Program and the western painted turtle, please visit our <a href=\"https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/fr\/fraser-valley-wetlands-wildlife\/\">program page<\/a> et <a href=\"https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/fr\/species\/western-painted-turtle\/\">species page<\/a>.
