Charismatic, cute, and best kept in the wild. 💚 🐢 ✨ Conservationist Jeff Corwin teamed up with the Service and partners to raise awareness about threats to America’s native turtles and tortoises, including illegal collection. Every turtle counts - removing even a single wild turtle can have a negative impact on the entire local population. Turtle eggs and hatchlings often have a low survival rate - most adults must breed for their entire lives to replace themselves in the wild population. Want to help?
