\u2014 including members from the U.S. Geological Survey, California Department of Fish and Wildlife, U.S. Forest Service, University of California, Los Angeles, Endemic Environmental Services Inc., Citrus College and San Diego Zoo Global \u2014 worked together recently to find and rescue the last remaining reproductively viable population of southwestern pond turtles\u00a0in the San Gabriel Mountains.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is not the first such effort, and almost certainly will not be the last,\u201d said Brad Shaffer, UCLA distinguished professor and director of the La Kretz Center for California Conservation Science. \u201cThese turtles will also be part of a range-wide genomic analysis of variation across the species that we are conducting with the CDFW and USGS to better understand and conserve the population, which is the last known of this species in the San Gabriel River.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><a
