End of Year Appeal

Here's a quick reminder: there are just hours left to send in a tax-deductible year-end gift before the end of 2021!

A donation to the Turtle Conservancy is a donation to help protect this planet from:

With nearly 70,000 acres of grasslands, rainforests, and fynbos under our protection, you can help reverse the effects of climate change. These highly regenerative ecosystems act both as a carbon sink and a means to sequester carbon. Protecting land also prevents ever encroaching slash-and-burn agriculture and cattle farming.

Turtle Conservancy programs hatch hundreds of endangered turtles and tortoises every year, both in the wild and at our conservation center in California. This past year we released over 4,000 Diamondback Terrapins in New Jersey. Our captive breeding efforts currently encompass 19 of the top 50 most endangered turtles and tortoises.

Your gift is an investment in people and the planet. Every bit of your support will be matched by a generous donor.

Please donate by midnight tonight and make 2021 a success for turtles!
