Our research is contributing to finding ways to prevent pet releases and provide rehoming options.

Hi, I'm Suzie Simpson. I have always loved carrying out research and contributing to conservation. This project was one I created in 2018 over a coffee with a turtle expert friend so it was not a fully funded PhD that had been put together by a university. I started my PhD in Biodiversity Management at the University of Kent in 2020 following the Covid outbreak and having become unwell at that time, I was determined to continue this really important research. The aim is to provide a platform to educate people on the issues of releasing pets in a hope to prevent these occurring. My work aims to contribute to the prevention of pet terrapin releases, their welfare and impacts on native wildlife.

Thank you so much for your support!
