World Turtle Day - Protecting The Hard Shell
Turtles are arguably the most endangered of all the species that are facing threats of extinction. Though they have deep roots in the history of civilization, they sadly do not find a safe habitat for co-existing with the more active creatures. The serious threats of extinction have propelled a rescue organization to declare May 23 as the World Turtle Day in 2000. On this date people express their appreciation for turtles and tortoises. Along with the expression of appreciation, they must also pledge to themselves that they would contribute in any which way to help these poor creatures fight strongly from being doused in the sand of time.
