Welcome to the Save
The Turtles section
There are several species of turtles that
are classified as threatened or endangered today. Take
sea turtles for an example. They have been roaming the
Earth's oceans since the time of the dinosaurs. There
are many reasons why they are becoming endangered and
extinct. Reasons such as global warming, human greed,
ocean pollution and getting caught in shrimping trawls.
There are many organizations that have formed in hopes
to save these wonderful creatures. They have opened up
facilities to help heal these injured turtles. They nurse
them up to good health and then let them free back into
the wild.
