Summary
Illegal trade of freshwater turtles and tortoises (FTTs), due to domestic and international demand, is a major threat to the survival of globally endangered species in Bangladesh. Consumers and traders have a poor understanding of protection laws and rules. WCS will identify FTT consumption and trade hotspots and conduct a targeted behaviour change campaign to reduce demand, measuring behaviour change through standardised interviews with consumers and sharing the approach and lessons learned with other countries.
