Texas officials offer $2K to report poaching of threatened prehistoric-like reptile

If you report someone for poaching alligator snapping turtles, you could take home a sizeable sum of cash. The Texas Parks and Wildlife Department (TPWD) was previously rewarding up to $1,000 to people who reported poaching of the threatened species.

For the past 22 years, the TPWD’s Conservation License Plate program has raised nearly $11.6 million that goes towards the funding of a variety of wildlife activities, conservation and research. The OGT was founded in 1981 after a variety of laws were passed by the 67th Legislature in Texas in order to reduce the amount of poaching throughout the state.
