Zur Kenntnis der Japanischen Zacken-Erdschildkröte, Geoemyda japonica Fan, 1932.

The publication "On the knowledge of the Japanese leaf turtle, Geoemyda japonica Fan, 1932" provides an overview of the taxonomy, natural history, ecology, habitat, threats, and conservation of the species Geoemyda japonica. The species inhabits the Ryukyu Archipelago in southern Japan and prefers moist primary and older secondary forests as its habitat. The reproductive habits of the turtles have been observed, including the hatching of the juveniles. The species is endangered and is threatened by poaching and habitat loss. There is currently no serious conservation or research program for this turtle, but a non-profit organization called Okinawa Kame Center has been established to study and protect the turtles.
