World Turtle Day
The purpose of the observance is to bring attention to, and increase knowledge of and respect for, turtles and tortoises, and encourage human action to help them survive and thrive. Turtle Day is celebrated worldwide in a variety of ways, from dressing up as turtles to saving turtles caught on highways, to research activities.
Let us all spare a thought for our marine turtles and wetland tortoises battling against habitat destruction and plastics pollution
