Western Painted Turtle
The Western Painted Turtle is the only remaining native pond turtle left in BC and with new developments, pollution and predators they have been endangered since 2006. In British Columbia, there are two populations of the Western Painted Turtle: the Intermountain, Rocky Mountain Population in the southern interior and Pacific Coast Population in the southwest. In 2006 the Committee on the Status of Endangered Wildlife in Canada (COSEWIC) the Intermountain – Rocky Mountain Population of the Western Painted Turtle is listed as Special Concern in Canada. The Western Painted Turtle requires wetland habitats for foraging and hibernation and suitable warm sites on land for egg-laying. All race profits will go toward funding conservation projects.
