Out of interest, why is it illegal to breed Tortoises here?

BTW: Conservationists have discovered that the pygmy hippopotamus, currently classified as Endangered, is surviving in Liberia followintwo civil wars and devastating habitat degradation, and have amazing photographic evidence to prove it. Led by Dr Ben Collen of the Zoological Society of London (ZSL) and comprising a team from ZSL, Flora and Fauna International (FFI) and Liberia’s Forestry Development Agency (FDA), the team undertook extensive monitoring of Sapo National Park in Liberia to find the endangered pygmy hippopotamus, one of the most elusive and secretive large mammals on the planet. A network of camera traps were set up in Liberia’s only national park and astonishingly the traps’ first images of wild pygmy hippos were recorded within the first three days. The expedition was funded by the People’s Trust for Endangered Species. Dr Ben Collen, ZSL Research Fellow, commented, “The pygmy hippo is an extraordinary, mysterious creature that has almost never been seen in the wild. The Zoological Society of London’s EDGE programme identified it as a species in need of urgent conservation attention and so we set out to previously war-torn Liberia, one of the species’ last refuges, to search for survivors. We were delighted to discover that a population still persists there, but remain highly concerned for the species, which continues to face significant threats from poaching and habitat degradation.”
STRICTLY EMBARGOED UNTIL 00:01 10th March 2008 GMT
