Status Assessment for the Eastern Box Turtle in the Northeastern United States

The Status Assessment for the Eastern Box Turtle in the Northeastern United States provides information that will allow the reader to build a solid understanding of the ecology of the eastern box turtle (subspecies woodland box turtle, Terrapene carolina carolina) in the northeast, understand the threats to the species, and relevant research conducted to date. This is meant to be a complimentary document to the Conservation Plan for the Eastern Box Turtles in the Northeastern United States, which provides recommendations to address and reduce the threats and a framework to increase the potential for the long-term persistence of the eastern box turtle.
