Why are turtles important?
Did you know that turtles are a Keystone Species and that other species depend on their presence in the ecosystem? This means that aside from saving turtles to preserve turtle populations, we save turtles to keep wetland ecosystems healthy. Join us in exploring why turtles are an important part of our wetlands.
