Day 17 | Assam Box Turtle

Secretive, solitary, and rarely seen, the Assam Box Turtle (Cuora praschagi) spends much of its life hidden beneath forest leaf litter and moist grasslands.
Found across parts of Northeast India, this remarkable turtle is heavily threatened by hunting

[Wildlife Survival Alliance @WSA_India]

and illegal wildlife trade, with several populations already severely depleted.

Though quiet and elusive, its disappearance would mean the loss of yet another unique piece of our freshwater and forest ecosystems.

Some species vanish long before most people even know they exist.

[Wildlife Survival Alliance @WSA_India]

Sometimes conservation begins simply by knowing a species exists.

Day 13 | Burmese Peacock Softshell Turtle

Rare, elusive, and only recently recorded from India, the Burmese Peacock Softshell Turtle (Nilssonia formosa) remains one of the least understood freshwater turtles of the region.

[Wildlife Survival Alliance @WSA_India]

Found in the river systems of Manipur, this critically endangered species spends much of its life hidden beneath soft riverbeds, surfacing quietly in fragile freshwater habitats.

Hunting, habitat alteration, and lack of ecological knowledge continue to threaten its survival.

[Wildlife Survival Alliance @WSA_India]

Conserving freshwater habitats protects countless lives, seen and unseen.

Day 12 | Indian Black Turtle

Widespread yet often overlooked, the Indian Black Turtle (Melanochelys trijuga) quietly inhabits ponds, marshes, rice paddies, and slow-moving freshwater systems across South Asia.

[Wildlife Survival Alliance @WSA_India]

Adaptable and resilient, it survives even in human-modified landscapes—but increasing habitat degradation, pollution, and exploitation continue to threaten its future.

Common species today can become rare tomorrow if they and their habitats are ignored.

[Wildlife Survival Alliance @WSA_India]

Conserving rivers means safeguarding even the species we are only beginning to understand.

Today's species is Northern Asiatic Softshell Turtle

Mysterious and rarely noticed, the Northern Asiatic Softshell Turtle (Amyda ornata) spends much of its life hidden beneath riverbeds and wetlands, surfacing only through its unique snorkel-like snout.

[Wildlife Survival Alliance @WSA_India]

Recently revalidated as a distinct species, it reminds us how much there is still to discover—and protect—within India’s freshwater ecosystems.

Threats from hunting, habitat disturbance, and unsustainable fishing continue to place pressure on this elusive river dweller.

[Wildlife Survival Alliance @WSA_India]

species like this one.

Protect wetlands. Protect freshwater biodiversity.

Black Spotted Pond Turtle

With its striking yellow markings against a dark shell, the Black Spotted Pond Turtle (Geoclemys hamiltonii) looks almost painted by nature itself.

[Wildlife Survival Alliance @WSA_India]

A resident of marshes, ponds, and floodplain wetlands, this endangered turtle depends on healthy freshwater ecosystems to survive. Yet pollution, habitat destruction, and illegal trade continue to threaten its future.
The loss of wetlands means the loss of countless hidden
