Found around the world in rivers, deserts, jungles, and our own backyards, it’s easy to assume tortoises and freshwater turtles will always be here. But the very traits that once helped them survive render them vulnerable to extinction today.
Protecting the world’s most endangered tortoises and freshwater turtles
To save turtles, we all play a role. Every day, tortoises and freshwater turtles around the globe face pressing threats. Your support equips us to support species where and how they need us most.
Turtles are ancient and remarkable creatures who deserve a champion. When you stand with us, you help ensure their continued survival. Together, we can create a world with zero turtle extinctions.
Many companies now recognize the value of community service and offer programs that directly support the places their employees volunteer. Through these volunteer reward programs, your employer may make a donation to Turtle Survival Alliance in recognition of the hours you spend helping protect endangered turtles.
Some employers also provide Volunteer Time Off (VTO)—paid hours or days you can use specifically for volunteering. It’s a great way to get involved, give back, and have your time in the field or at events translate into even greater impact for turtle conservation.
