Tortoises saved, released on range

A silt fence running toward the horizon is the barrier surrounding the gopher tortoises’ new habitat deep within the Eglin Air Force Base range Oct. 26. The first of approximately 250 tortoises were released into their 100-acre environment after being rescued from urban development at their previous home in South Florida. Increasing the gopher tortoise population here could prevent the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service from listing the animal on the Threatened and Endangered Species list, allowing more flexibility for the military missions on Eglin.
