The turtles Podocnemis unifilis and Podocnemis expansa are commonly known as small and large charapa, respectively; they are listed by the IUCN as VU and LC. Unfortunately, due to illegal trade, pollution and fragmentation of their habitat, the conservation of these species has been threatened, making the decline of their populations notorious. The Charapas Turtle Management Project has been developed during 4 periods, in 4 control posts of the Yasuní National Park and in 1 post in its area of influence. During these periods of time several activities have been carried out to optimally manage these species, such as: construction and maintenance of artificial sandpits and pools, collection and seeding of eggs, monitoring of incubation and hatching, measurement, weighing of individuals, marking and release. In addition, actions have been articulated for the involvement of key social actors in these activities.
