The Golden Turtle, a species of turtle that lives in a freshwater environment, is named for the three golden stripes on its back carapace, which means auspiciousness and is loved by people. However, despite their ornamental and symbolic value, many people do not choose to breed them. What are the challenges behind this?
First of all, the golden turtle is an endangered species on the IUCN Red List and a protected animal in Appendix I of the International Convention on Endangered Species of Wild Fauna and Flora. This means that international** is severely restricted, and private farming may require special permits. It is not an easy task for the average enthusiast to obtain these licenses.
Secondly, the breeding of the golden turtle is not easy. They require a specific environment and specialized knowledge in order to reproduce successfully. This undoubtedly increases the difficulty of breeding for ordinary enthusiasts.
In addition, the breeding of golden turtles requires the provision of appropriate water quality, temperature, food and medical care, which require corresponding economic investment. For many people, the cost of such farming is too high to afford.
In addition, many countries and regions have strict laws and regulations to protect endangered species. Illegal breeding, trading, or transportation of golden turtles may be punishable by law. This makes it necessary for many people to consider carefully when choosing to breed golden turtles.
As people become more environmentally conscious, more and more people choose not to keep endangered or protected wildlife to reduce pressure on natural resources. This is one of the reasons why many people do not choose to breed golden turtles.
Finally, due to the scarcity and level of protection of the golden turtle, the ** in the market is very high, which makes many ordinary consumers prohibitive.
Breeding a golden turtle is not an easy decision and there are many factors to consider. For those who love animals, choosing to breed other pets that are easier to care for and do not require special permits may be a more suitable option. At the same time, supporting wildlife conservation efforts and protecting the natural habitat of the golden turtle is also a kind of care for this beautiful creature. Let's work together to protect the golden turtle and allow it to thrive in its natural environment.
