Status report on the wood turtle, Clemmys insculpta, in Canada / by Jacqueline D. Litzgus and Ronald J. Brooks. : CW69-14/1-1996E-PDF
"The wood turtle has been assigned varying degrees of protection in the United States. The species is fully protected in Ontario under the Game and Fish Act. The species' status is under review in New Brunswick and Quebec, and the status is currently unknown in Nova Scotia. Two wood turtle populations in Ontario have been studied over five years and these populations appear to be stable. Other Canadian populations have not been studied, therefore, the size and status of these populations is unknown. Many wood turtle populations in the United States have undergone precipitous declines in the past few years, apparently from commercial collection for the pet trade and habitat loss and fragmentation. Direct destruction and exploitation by humans are probably the greatest causes of loss of adult wood turtles"--Abstract.
