The Three Counties Tortoises Society
Note: This Society is not part of The British Chelonia Group, and wishes to make this plain, in the light of serious concerns we have about the state of the BCG funded CARAPAX terrapin centre in Italy Click here for details:

This Society always will, and always has stood for putting real conservation funding in the hands of responsible and accounatble NGOs.
