Testudinata is the name of the Order that refers to all identified forms of turtles, tortoises and tortoises in the world. These testudines are present in different environments, from terrestrial to freshwater and marine environments. They may occupy urban areas due to habitat loss or be bred in irregular captivity. The trafficking of wild animals and the introduction of exotic species are an aggravating factor that cause several environmental imbalances with the withdrawal of the free-living animal for the illegal trade, threatening biodiversity. Therefore, the management of Wild Animal Screening and Rehabilitation Centers in the states is of great importance, for better treatment, handling and disposal of animals. The modalities for wild animals to enter the Centers are apprehension, rescue and the “Voluntary Delivery” where people who illegally raised an animal spontaneously deliver to CETRAS for rehabilitation and, if possible, release for reintroduction to the environment. Having the need to provide a diagnosis on the entrances and exits of Testudines, the objective of the work was to analyze the entrances of Testudines, evidencing the richness, abundance, regarding their origin and health status. At the same time, produce guidance material and scientific dissemination. The CETRAS Tangara entry forms with the evaluated data are from January 2019 to December 2021. A total of 10 species and 1648 individuals of Testudines were entered into CETRAS from January 2019 to December 2021, included in the Rescue category (n=506) and Voluntary Delivery (n=1136). The species with voluntary surrender values was the red-footed tortoise, Chelonoidis carbonaria, and from Rescue it was the chinstrap turtle, Phrynops geoffroanus. Its origin was predominantly in household captivity and peri-urban environments in the municipalities close to the Aldeia Beberibe APA Conservation Unit, being Recife with 52.6%, Olinda 14.2%, Jaboatão dos Guararapes 11.9%, Paulista 10.8% and Camaragibe 10.5%, Pernambuco, Brazil.
