All You Need to Know About World Turtle Day 2020

World Turtle Day is observed on May 23. The day is celebrated to make people aware of turtle and tortoise and their habitats. This year is the 20th anniversary of World Turtle Day.

Every year since 2000, American Tortoise Rescue (ATR), a nonprofit organization established in 1990, sponsors the celebrations for World Turtle Day.

To mark the day, the Twitter handle of World Turtle Day has come up with a caption contest for all the turtle and tortoise lovers.

“Having fun with a caption contest for #WorldTurtleDay – “like” World Turtle Day on Facebook and come up with a clever caption for this turtle pic,” read the caption.

To make the day a memorable one, Praveen Kaswan, Indian Forest Service, has shared a short story about a loggerhead turtle.

“Incredible journey of a loggerhead turtle to home. This is Yoshi & she traveled 37000 kms from Africa to Australia to find her nesting grounds in March. Also incredible to observe how these creatures move to such a length & why we need to protect nesting grounds. #WorldTurtleDay,” he tweeted.
