We envision a planet where turtles thrive in the wild and are respected and protected by all humans. To further this vision, the mission of Turtle Survival Alliance is to protect and restore wild populations of tortoises and freshwater turtles through science-based conservation, global leadership, and local stewardship.
With your help, Turtle Survival Alliance provides conservation breeding programs, field research, culturally appropriate conservation initiatives, community engagement and outreach, and shares new research and techniques throughout the global turtle and tortoise conservation community. Through collaborations with zoos, aquariums, universities, private turtle enthusiasts, veterinarians, government agencies, and conservation organizations, Turtle Survival Alliance has become widely recognized as a catalyst for turtle conservation, with a reputation for swift and decisive action.
