Celebration of World Turtle Day 2022:

Turtles……….the most ancient and primitive reptile groups are found in almost every environment on the planet. Sea turtles are often considered the “Keystone Species” of the oceanic environment. Every year on May 23, World Turtle Day is observed to spread awareness among people about what they can do to safeguard the turtle and tortoise ecosystems.   Nature Environment & Wildlife Society (NEWS) celebrated ‘World Turtle Day’ with 100 school children at the Gyandeep Academy of Chakersan, Paschim Champaran, Bihar. The NEWS team member, Abhishek delivered a talk on the type of turtles found in that landscape, the number of species, the importance of their conservation status, and the ways by which they can be protected. The awareness programme was supported by the project, titled, “Development of cross-border approaches to mitigate conflicts between humans and elephants and to protect small farmers at the foot of the Himalayas”.  #WorldTurtleDay2022 #Turtles #GlobalNatureFund #SIKA #NABU #oceanlife #seaturtle #ProtecttheTurtles #reptiles
