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.
Spotted Box Turtles prefer oak savannas and pine-oak woodlands at higher elevations, but are also found in the tropical dry forest at lower elevations. They are terrestrial and associated with hill-slopes with complex understory vegetation. They have been documented eating dung beetles, mushrooms, and herbaceous vegetation.
