In Desperate Need Of Help
Randrianjafizanaka knew right away what she had to do. She had to get the poor creatures out of the house and move them to a safe and suitable place for tortoises, and she needed to do this as soon as possible. These animals had been treated horrendously, and many of them were more than likely close to dying. It was a lot of work and took a lot of time. However, the tortoises were in danger every second that they were in the house.

Population Declining
This species of tortoises was once thriving, but in recent years, their population has fallen drastically. In the ’90s, their population was estimated to be around 12 million, a relatively low number, but by 2010, that number had dropped to less than 6 million. Now, it is estimated that only 3 million of these tortoises exist. The team knew that countless tortoises were in the house, but they couldn’t tell just how many there were exactly. In total, over 9,000 tortoises were crammed in the small space.
