HAPPY WORLD TURTLE DAY! 🐢

Keep helping our buds cross those roads out there, but don't forget to keep them wild please! #wildturtleweek

Happy World Environment Day! 🌎 When we protect turtles, we're protecting entire ecosystems. Turtles help maintain healthy wetlands, rivers, oceans, forests, and grasslands. Every piece of nature is connected and a healthier planet means a future for turtles, wildlife, and people alike. Let's work together to protect the habitats that make life possible. @UNEP #NowForClimate

World Turtle Day 2026 was SHELL-MAZING!!!! From what we've been able to count online, this year's shellebration was 380x BIGGER than last year's, with over 90 million of you SHOWING UP for turtles! Thank you to every organization, individual, beach cleanup, zoo talk, Twitch stream, road-crossing assist, and everything else you do to help ensure turtles remain on this Earth with us. We couldn't have done this without you, and we CAN'T continue this work without you. We look forward to shellebrating turtles all year long! 🐢💚

Thanks again! Lmao I love it! @WorldTurtleDay

World Turtle Day® and Susan share a birthday for a reason. 🐢🎂 As the founder of World Turtle Day®, choosing her birthday as the day to shellebrate turtles just made sense. This year made it even more special as Natalya Zernitskaya, Santa Monica Councilmember, presented Susan with the official World Turtle Day® proclamation. A great birthday gift to honor her decades of work protecting turtles and tortoises. Make sure to send Susan some birthday love!

Love turtles in video games

Nothing says World Turtle Day® quite like learning cool turtle facts and sharing them with your favorite turtle loving friends! 🐢

May 23 is World Turtle Day. A perfect time to slow it all down. #turtles

It's @WorldTurtleDay! 🐢💚 Here’s how you can make a big difference: ✋ Slow your roll. Road mortality is a major threat. Stick to speed limits and watch for wildlife crossing.
