Yellow-spotted river turtles (Podocnemis unifilis) are released in the Iguapo-Acu River in Beruri, Amazonas State, Brazil, on February 7, 2025. The project to protect the yellow-spotted river turtle is led by the research and extension program of the Universidade Federal do Amazonas and has already returned more than 70,000 turtles to the wild in its 10 years of existence. The yellow-spotted river turtle lives in many river basins in northern South America, including the Amazon River and the Orinoco River in Venezuela. (Photo by Orlando Júnior/AFP Photo)
