People simply love them: In the Asian turtle crisis, an entire group of animals on a continent is in danger of disappearing forever.\u00a0 As a result, incredible numbers of turtles were collected not only in China, but also in neighbouring countries, to be offered for consumption at the Chinese live animal markets, which have been known worldwide since the coronavirus pandemic. This gave rise to the term \u2018Asian turtle crisis\u2019 back in the 1990s. Almost all turtle species in Asia are now critically endangered or threatened with extinction \u2013 or have already been wiped out in the wild.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;185416&#8243;][vc_column width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_custom_heading uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;189878&#8243;]Award-winning species protection[\/vc_custom_heading][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row row_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; override_padding=&#8221;yes&#8221; h_padding=&#8221;1&#8243; top_padding=&#8221;1&#8243; bottom_padding=&#8221;2&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;100&#8243; column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; style=&#8221;inherited&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;133907&#8243; front_end_with_slider=&#8221;true&#8221;][vc_column column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; align_horizontal=&#8221;align_center&#8221; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; style=&#8221;light&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_width=&#8221;0&#8243; zoom_height=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][uncode_slider slider_interval=&#8221;0&#8243; slider_navspeed=&#8221;200&#8243; slider_loop=&#8221;yes&#8221;][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_color=&#8221;color-xsdn&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;4&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; limit_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; front_end_with_slider=&#8221;true&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;144687&#8243; overlay_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;140328&#8243; caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;153624&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;109282&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;757139&#8243;]The International Centre for Turtle Conservation (IZS) at M\u00fcnster All-Weather Zoo[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_color=&#8221;color-xsdn&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;4&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; limit_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; front_end_with_slider=&#8221;true&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;132541&#8243; overlay_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;140330&#8243; caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;202223&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;146680&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;808825&#8243;]934 Turtles from 19 taxa hatched at the IZS by the beginning of 2024 under the watchful eyes of the team (here species conservation curator Philipp Wagner).[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner row_inner_height_percent=&#8221;0&#8243; overlay_color=&#8221;color-xsdn&#8221; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;4&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; limit_content=&#8221;yes&#8221; front_end_with_slider=&#8221;true&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;132541&#8243; overlay_color_type=&#8221;uncode-palette&#8221;][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;2\/3&#8243;][vc_single_image media=&#8221;140332&#8243; caption=&#8221;yes&#8221; media_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;151948&#8243;][\/vc_column_inner][vc_column_inner column_width_percent=&#8221;100&#8243; gutter_size=&#8221;3&#8243; overlay_alpha=&#8221;50&#8243; shift_x=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y=&#8221;0&#8243; shift_y_down=&#8221;0&#8243; z_index=&#8221;0&#8243; medium_width=&#8221;0&#8243; mobile_width=&#8221;0&#8243; width=&#8221;1\/3&#8243; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;146680&#8243;][vc_column_text uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;681197&#8243;]It was a long journey before the IZS could be built.

The idea: Elmar made his animals, his knowledge and his voluntary commitment available for two and a half decades, while the zoo provided space, food, electricity and water. With the help of numerous supporters, money was raised for the construction of the \u2018<a href=\"https:\/\/www.allwetterzoo.de\/de\/artenschutz\/zentrum-fuer-schildkroetenschutz\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">International Centre for Turtle Conservation<\/a>\u2019. It worked \u2013 the IZS was opened in 2003. Together with his wife Ingrid, Elmar bred numerous tortoises there, which were then distributed to other zoos and private keepers. Now that Elmar is going into well-deserved retirement, his work will be continued by the zoo. Because conservation breeding requires staying power.
