Golden coin turtle for sale Ā
The chinese golden coin turtle for sale is well known to the Chinese people as a component of traditional medicine, with unsubstantiated claims of having cancer-curing properties. It is also a talisman of good luck and prosperity. Unfortunately, the species has not had its share of good fortune. The turtle has been hunted to the verge of extinction across its natural range, from South China into Vietnam. As the species has vanished from the wild, market prices have soared, further increasing illegal poaching activity. Wild areas of Hong Kong represent its last chance for continued existence in the wild, with a small breeding population clinging on to life in remote valleys and streams. The species is listed as Critically Endangered, and considered one of the 25 most endangered turtles globally.
