Celebrate turtles during Turtle Month!

Each year from Earth Day through World Turtle Day®®—May 23rd—we invite you to join us for a month-long celebration of the world’s turtles and tortoises, and the people who protect them.

During Turtle Month we celebrate the diversity, beauty, and preservation of the 353 living species of turtles, tortoises, sea turtles, and terrapins found on Earth. In 2024, Turtle Survival Alliance will also be celebrating it’s 20th anniversary of being a registered 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization!

Check back here in 2024 for more information on how you can celebrate and support turtles with Turtle Survival Alliance.

Together we will create a brighter future for turtles and tortoises!
