No More Deadly Desert Tortoise Translocations

The US Army is planning to move more than 1,1oo Desert Tortoises to expand its training operations in the Mojave Desert. More than 250 of the 600 tortoises died last year during a move to make way for tank warfare training.

The Center for Biological Diversity is asking for help in their fight to stop the translocation of this endangered species.
