Today is #WorldTurtleDay! #Turtles have an ancient meaning all over the world. Far from being meek and mild, they are warriors and symbolic of our past, present and fragile future on this planet #Boycottpalmoil #Boycott4Wildlife @palmoildetectives https://palmoildetectives.com/2022/04/24/a-fascinating-history-of-warrior-turtles-from-ancient-myths-warships-and-teenage-mutants/?utm_source=mastodon&utm_medium=Palm+Oil+Detectives&utm_campaign=publer

On this #WorldTurtleDay I honour #TurtleIsland. I have known pleasure across many different places in you. I respect your spirits. I like many of the creatures who call you home, and even some of the people. I believe you will survive the current trauma, will heal and recover from it. Grace and honour to you, Turtle Island.

World Turtle Day - Scuba Hank NYC

World Turtle Day was established in 2000 by the American Tortoise Rescue to highlight the conservation of turtle and tortoise habitats. The day encourages individuals to protect these reptiles and celebrates their global significance. Through various activities such as donning turtle costumes and engaging in local initiatives, people show hands-on commitment to the welfare of turtles. Educational institutions benefit from resources provided for crafting engaging lessons on turtle conservation, nurturing awareness among the younger generation.
