Laura’s Stars

This channel is about giving the best life possible to rescues and endangered tortoises. I have rescued three Russian tortoises, and 2 Mojave desert tortoise, and 2 indian star tortoises. I belong to the Palm Desert turtle and tortoise club and involved with the conservation with Palm Desert living zoo, which is involved with our military bases around our area to conserve and save the Mojave desert tortoise. In recent years, their numbers have dwindled because of crows devouring on their hatchlings. and losing their environment due to drought and people. 
 My Indian stars are also part of trying to stop the poaching in India. We raise them here in the United States. There’s no need to poach. They no longer have the ability to sustain themselves in their native land because of the pet trade and illegal smuggling. 
 Three Russians, two of which were in very poor condition from Petsmart, and I could not let them get any worse one of them I decided to get from a breeder.
