Abstract
Batagur affinis occurs in coastal rivers and estuaries of Peninsular Malaysia, Sumatra, Thailand, Cambodia, and Vietnam, although wild populations are now much reduced or extirpated in most range countries (Moll et al. 2015. Chelon. Res. Monogr. 5:90.1–90.17). In Cambodia, B. affinis was feared extinct until a small population was “rediscovered” along the Sre AmbelKaong River system in 2001 (Platt et al. 2003. Chelon. Conserv. Biol. 4:691–695). This population has since been the focus of an intense recovery effort involving egg collection from the wild, head-starting of hatchlings, and eventual reintroduction of subadult turtles (Sovannara and Gately 2009. Turtle Survival 2009:94–95; Moll et al., op. cit.).
