Abstract     
From February 19-27, 2005, I conducted a preliminary investigation of the distribution and conservation status of Sulawesi’s two endemic chelonians, the Sulawesi Forest Turtle, Leucocephalon yuwonoi, and the Forsten’s Tortoise, indotestudo forstenii. Morphological data and commercial trade information were gathered from specimens at a commercial holding facility in Palu, Central Sulawesi. Species distribution information was gathered through interviews and habitat surveys in the Palu, Palolo, and Kulawi Valleys of Lore Lindu National Park. My goals were to determine if a new range existed for L. yuwonoi, whether there were morphological differences between populations of I. Forstenii, and if estimates of population size for both species could be determined based on several years of documented collection data. My thesis will present detailed results and a discussion of the trade of chelonians in Sulawesi.
