The schoolboys on a mission to revive the UK’s lost reptiles

British schoolboys Harvey Tweats and Tom Whitehurst are restoring lost reptiles to the UK’s ponds, lakes and wetlands. The teenagers, both aged 17, have set up the company Celtic Reptile & Amphibian with the aim of reviving rare frogs, turtles and snakes that used to be native in the UK, but are now on the brink of extinction. They have set up a conservation centre in their back gardens in Staffordshire, where they look after a wide range of reptiles and amphibians.
