Indian Star Tortoises are native to Indian subcontinent. The species is found in three disjunct geographical areas:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u25a0 northwestern India and extreme southeastern Pakistan; 
\u25a0 southeastern India; 
\u25a0 the island of Sri Lanka. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The numbers are decreasing. The most alarming factor is the continuous exploitation for international pet trade. The habitat destruction is also a threat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
