This project will produce several key deliverables that contribute both to species-specific conservation goals and broader ecological understanding. For the threatened species targeted, particularly Terrapene yucatana (EN), we aim to collect comprehensive morphological data, blood samples, and roadkill records. These data will inform mitigation strategies developed in collaboration with the Calakmul Biosphere Reserve to reduce turtle mortality along roadways. A major benchmark will be the registration of at least 10 live T. yucatana individuals. A core deliverable will be the identification of high-density zones and preferred microhabitats for T. yucatana, which is known to occupy distinct microhabitats from the semi-terrestrial Rhinoclemmys areolata. Additionally, we will assess how turtle density for each species varies across a gradient of disturbance levels, including proximity to roads, agricultural land, and human settlements. This will support evidence-based recommendations for land management and conservation prioritization within and around the reserve. Finally, the project includes a community outreach component. We plan to distribute at least 500 comics and 500 leaflets to local residents, aiming to increase awareness about turtle conservation and promote community involvement in protecting local biodiversity. This direct engagement will serve as an essential outcome, fostering long-term conservation support in the region.
