Yup, keeping them as pets generates awareness. Husbandry techniques also improves due to research being done by the suppliers in an attempt to cultivate them. Without a market for revenue, no one will want to pump in money for research. Just look at mussels, oysters, clown fish and sea horses
hmmm~ dont agree with tat 100%.... conservation doesnt work out that way. they will not consider about their genetic variety, their proper habitat and the whole ecosystem balance..... all the supplier see is $$......
mussel is even a threat due to overpopulation.... seahorse breeding technique is not mature too.... most of the seahorse in market are wild caught. then, they dont eat and die in aquarium........

Hi Everyone
The Malayan Box Turtle has been deemed endangered and the Malaysian authority together with WWF and IUCN are now monitoring the trade of this species.
