Become a Turtle Tallier
Under the “Research” section we have three stories asking for assistants in reporting turtle sightings whilst you’re out and about. This will help scientists understand the turtle species around us and how to best help them. So read the stories and maybe check to see if your local area is conducting something similar you can participate in. In the “Crime & Punishment” section we have yet another image of a person riding a Leatherback turtle. I hope they find this person and educate them about why they should not be do that. The “Miscellany” section has a rather splendid sculpture that would look stunning in any tortoise lovers garden or front room.
