英文摘要	The Asian turtle crisis has caused a severe depletion of all native Chinese turtle species. During this time there have been many efforts, both within China and abroad, to slow and/or stop the trade of turtles. However, recent studies on the turtle trade in China show it is not slowing down and is becoming more sophisticated. The history of turtles and turtle trade on Hainan Island, China, has been well documented and therefore allows for comparisons with previous work. We conducted our study in Qiongzhong County and a portion of Danzhou County in central Hainan. We performed both village surveys and field surveys to determine which species are still present in what areas, in what abundance relative to other species, and what is the main use of turtles sold, and their prices. We surveyed 14 villages comprising five regions and collected nine turtles of seven species (five native, two introduced) in roughly 7,240 trap days. For most species, multiple age classes are being collected and there are certain areas where they can be found consistently. Prices have continued to increase for all species and they are now mainly sold for pets or for breeding by farmers. Lack of enforcement by the agriculture and forestry agencies enables the local villagers to freely collect and sell without sufficient fear of punishment.; Mohamed bin Zayed Species Conservation Fund; National Science Foundation of China; Turtle Conservation Fund; Natural Science Foundation of Hainan [20153135]; SCI(E); ARTICLE; 1; 33-40; 12
