Dozens of rescued smuggled radiated tortoises and other endangered tortoises at Hong Kong’s Kadoorie Farm and Botanic Garden have been in limbo since the start of the Covid-19 pandemic. The reptiles, along with nearly 400 other animals, are waiting to be resettled at other zoos or conservation centres abroad.
