ADOPT A TURTLE
Turtles are under threat like never before.
Protect spectacular sea turtles and their ocean home
Every day, turtles are threatened by pollution, lose their nesting beaches to coastal developments, face accidental capture by commercial fishing, and are traded illegally for their shells.
There’s also the deadly legacy left by plastic. An estimated 9 million metric tonnes enter our oceans every year, choking and smothering turtles and other sea creatures.
Symbolically adopting a turtle today can protect these incredible seafarers by helping to repopulate and restore their watery habitats for generations to come. Your generosity will be a symbol of your support for conversation and animal advocacy, ensuring our magnificent turtles remain in our waters forever.
And for every turtle you assist, you'll also help other marine life as well as teaching younger generations about the importance of conservation.
