TheTurtleRoom believes in a multi-pronged approach to save our favorite species. First, we have a focus on education – both for the general public and those who already love turtles – through engaging presentations, social media, and other web-available content. It is also our goal to support private keepers and work to involve them in the conservation process instead of just the preservation process. Additionally, We are working to ensure the survival of many chelonian species through collaborative captive assurance colony programs to guard against potential extinction in the wild. Lastly, alongside our partner organizations worldwide, we are developing conservation and research programs for species-in-need within their home range to learn about the populations and enact measures to prevent extinction and promote recovery. We believe our collaborative model partnering with organizations who already have “boots on the ground” will lead to the greatest potential success for saving turtles in their home ranges.
