How will you celebrate World Turtle Day on 23 May? 
The purpose of World Turtle Day, May 23, sponsored yearly since 2000 by American Tortoise Rescue, 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. These gentle animals have been around for about 200 million years, yet they are rapidly
disappearing as a result of the exotic food industry, habitat destruction and the cruel pet trade.
