Please help us! The Tortoises in Madagascar are in trouble! We need people to help the Fourth Graders to repatriate the radiated tortoises in Antananarivo back to their usual habitat in Tulear, an area in the south of Madagascar. We need to check the tortoises to see if they carry diseases or if they are not feeling well. And this is extremely important because the tortoise in Antananarivo (Ivandry) can’t breed here and so have to go back to Tulear where they can breed naturally. In fact, the Radiated tortoises are in peril if people continue to remove them from their home. We need to drive the tortoises to Tulear. But Tulear is very far from Antananarivo, so we would need a whole big truck to get there! The trip there will be about 600 km which is about two days of driving! And of course, the tortoises need food and shelter inside the truck to keep them alive. The driver also needs to stop driving for a moment to rest. So then, once we have transported them to Tulear, then we will take them to a protected area in Tulear called The Tortoise Villa where the other tortoises remain. Hopefully, it will work to save them.
