Currently, there are many rumors and unfounded information spreading about the effects of turtle meat such as curing cardiovascular disease, cancer, physiology… Some people think that eating turtle meat stewed with red silk, Lotus seeds, black beans, can cure cardiovascular disease, high blood pressure.
Regarding this issue, Dr. Quan Van Hung – Institute of Ethnic Medicine and Pharmacy in Ho Chi Minh City confirmed that about turtles, there has been no research to determine which turtle meat is good for heart disease.

Despite the efforts of law enforcement agencies and conservation organizations at home and abroad, controlling the wildlife trade in general and the online turtle trade is still very difficult.
According to the report “Online Turtle Market: Exciting Turtle Market on Facebook and Youtube in Vietnam in 2021” published by the Center for People and Nature (Pannature) and the Asian Turtle Conservation Program, the survey results On the two platforms Facebook and Youtube in 2021 shows that the turtle market on social networks in Vietnam is very active, of which 2021 is the strongest growth year compared to previous years.
Unlike Facebook, Youtube has only one way to post content, videos and some intro information. Youtube channels often avoid the review by choosing the right images, then inserting content about buying and selling turtles, contact information directly into the video instead of writing in the description.
Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi are the two localities with the highest number of online turtle trading activities in the country. Among the channels that can be located, the number of online stores in Hanoi is the highest with 19 pages; followed by Ho Chi Minh City with 17 pages.

Among these, with on-site conservation projects, the Hoan Kiem Turtle Conservation Project in the North of Vietnam has been implemented since 2003 until now.
In addition, other long-term projects of ATP focus on the Central Tortoise, the yellow-fronted box turtle in the central region of Vietnam. Recently, ATP has also focused on research and conservation of big-headed turtles, a critically endangered species with special conservation value on a global scale.
With translocation conservation activities, ATP has cooperated with Cuc Phuong National Park, Wildlife Rescue Centers in Vietnam to rescue, restore health and re-release native species of Vietnam’s turtles. “, Hoang Van Ha added.
At the Turtle Conservation Center (TCC) in Cuc Phuong, Ms. Nguyen Thu Thuy – coordinator of the ATP’s rescue, training and animal management program working here said that from 2015 onwards, every each year TCC receives 200 to 400 individuals of about 15 to 20 different species of turtles, mainly from illegal trade seizures, of which only 6 to 7% of individuals are from voluntary individuals. transfer.
Compared with the reported number of tortoise and freshwater confiscations for the years 1995-2000, this amount is less than 10% of the previous confiscation. This shows that the number of turtles in the wild of Vietnam has been seriously reduced.
Therefore, with the specificity of being a rescue facility for species confiscated from illegal trade and hunting, when there is a need for rescue, the members of TCC work day and night to go to the rescue. animals as soon as possible after receiving and processing information.
Just like when returning animals to the wild, they need to make sure the turtles are released into the correct range and habitat suitable for each species. So there are trips from North to South and they have to work continuously for almost a week until the last individual is safely returned to the wild.
In addition to Cuc Phuong National Park, Pu Hu Nature Reserve (Thanh Hoa) is also implementing a conservation program for tortoises and freshwater turtles with 4 groups of urgent solutions, 7 integrated solutions for conservation and conservation. develop turtle populations here.
In particular, focus on strengthening the management, monitoring, strengthening forest patrols in high-risk areas. In addition, it is necessary to improve the capacity of the forest rangers, promote education and communication to the people, vigorously handle violations and attract the cooperation of the community.
To protect Vietnam’s tortoise and freshwater turtles from the risk of poaching and illegal trade, leading to extinction, it requires the cooperation of the whole community.
On the side of the authorities, on September 12, 2019, the Prime Minister issued Decision 1176/QD-TTg, approving the “Program to conserve Vietnam’s endangered turtle species until 2025, with a vision to 2030”. “.
This is a conservation program for endangered turtle species contributing to the conservation of biodiversity in Vietnam, in which conservation of endangered turtle species is the responsibility of the whole society, management agencies, all organizations, businesses and individuals. In addition, promote socialization and strengthen international cooperation in the conservation of endangered turtle species.
The overall objective of the program is that Vietnam’s endangered turtle populations and their habitats are protected and developed sustainably, contributing to the conservation of Vietnam’s biodiversity.
More specifically, the program will develop a system of legal documents on turtle conservation; strengthen investigation and research on turtle species; building effective turtle protection models; strengthening law enforcement and management; raise awareness and community participation in turtle conservation.
