Long Island's Eastern box turtles, whose numbers are declining across their home ranges, are the subject of a long-term conservation study. The lead researcher has enlisted the help of a pair of wildlife detection dogs to help find the turtles, which are well-camouflaged on the woodland floor. Ecologists hope the study will lead to specific measures to protect turtles, such as wildlife tunnels. #newyork #turtle #wildlife Subscribe to our YouTube channel: bit.ly/3jLQjUN Subscribe to Newsday.com: newsday.com/socialoffer ~ FOLLOW US ON SOCIAL MEDIA ~ @newsday on Facebook, Instagram and Twitter. @newsday.tv on TikTok.
