TRAFFIC Southeast Asia identified the Southeast Asian Box Turtle as a heavily traded species to be used as a case study for science-based management, which could serve as a model for other CITES Appendix II species in trade. This study aims to assess the legislation in place to regulate trade in freshwater turtles and tortoises and to identify past and current harvest and trade levels.
