World Turtle Day: World Turtle Day is a reminder of the importance of conserving these ancient reptiles. Turtles and tortoises have been around for over 200 million years and have adapted to survive in various environments. Despite their resilience, they face numerous threats, including habitat loss, poaching, and pollution. By celebrating World Turtle Day, we acknowledge the vital role they play in maintaining ecological balance and encourage efforts to protect these gentle creatures. Let’s take a moment to appreciate their wisdom and perseverance and work towards ensuring their survival for future generations.
