While not currently endangered, the tortoise is nearing endangered status due to its highly valued coloration, medicinal, and cultural values, as well as for the exotic pet trade. [1] The tortoises are protected in India, Sri Lanka, and Pakistan and are illegal to trade and possess. They are highly valued in areas outside of these countries, leading some to risk the law for profit. Conservation of these species is imperative to its survival.<a href="https://www.kashmirworldfoundation.org/post/sri-lankan-star-tortoise-smuggling-for-the-exotic-pet-market-1#:~:text=While%20not%20currently%20endangered%2C%20the,illegal%20to%20trade%20and%20possess" target="_blank">https://www.kashmirworldfoundation.org/post/sri-lankan-star-tortoise-smuggling-for-the-exotic-pet-market-1#:~:text=While not currently endangered, the,illegal to trade and possess</a>.------ Post added on [DATETIME="UT"]1699770304[/DATETIME]</blockquote>
