I rember as a kid seeing box turtles whenever I walked in parks in the woods, or even in my yard.
It's been such a long time since I've seen one.
The new trick to avoid conservation and dedicating space to many life forms, is to say they have become expatriated from an area. That's a fancy way to avoid saying they are becoming extinct across large areas, or even states. It's saying they aren't around here anymore, but I'm sure they are still somewhere...
