Yellow-footed tortoises are endangered – which is why the latest breeding success at Dortmund Zoo is so important to preserve the species and ensure its future.
A success that would not have been possible without zoos: Diego the giant tortoise returns to his ancestral home after having made a great contribution to the conservation breeding of his species.
Thanks to the conservation breeding of European pond turtles at zoos like the Opel-Zoo in Kronberg and Frankfurt Zoo the return of this species has been made possible.
