In February 2015, the Bellinger River Snapping Turtle (Myuchelys georgesi) experienced a mass mortality event in which an unknown disease killed most of the adult population, but spared juveniles. This project works to conserve the remaining Bellinger River Snapping turtles and bring the species back from the brink of extinction.

The focus of the project is encouraging conservation attention for Bizarre-nosed Chameleon and for its land-living. Identified as a marsh-dependent species, Calumma hafahafa might not a tropical forest interior species. The species concentration areas give the idea to be close to marshes surrounded by a ring of forests. Marshes actually drive changes in Bizarre-nosed Chameleon abundance. It is a result of habitat choice.
