Let's Shellebrate! Today marks World Turtle Day, an annual event initiated in 2000 and sponsored by American Tortoise Rescue. This special day is observed around the world, aiming to raise awareness about the importance of protecting turtles and tortoises, along with their vanishing habitats. It's a call to action for people everywhere to take steps to ensure these fascinating creatures not only survive but thrive in our world.
