| Abstract |
|
Emys orbicularis Today the European pond turtle survives in 11 French regions (Aquitaine, Auvergne, Bourgogne, Centre, Corsica, Languedoc-Roussillon, Limousin, Midi-Pyrénées, Poitou-Charentes, Provence alpes côte d‟Azur, Rhône-Alpes) and 26 countries contain at least one population. Archeozoological data and historical documents show that in ancient (classical and early historical) times, a large part of the territory was inhabited. It is clear from the present distribution that since the XIXth century the area inhabited by the turtle population has greatly diminished. The original factors of this decline are firstly human consumption, and more recently the reduction and destruction of their habitat. At the present time, the regression observed at a national level, combined with an important fragmentation of the population, justifies a plan of action in favour of the species. Its long-term preservation depends on the implementation of specific conservation measures. The conservation of European pond turtle populations depends essentially on: 1) Preservation of wetlands with good water quality, combined with a favourable landscape for nesting 2) An adapted management of the species „habitat 3) Maintenance of displacement corridors allowing free movement between the populations 4) Problems relating to the coexistence of numerous exotic species, sharing the same ecological niche, must be taken into account.
