Every year on May 23, American Tortoise Rescue (ATR), a non-profit organisation, observes World Turtle Day.
This event is intended to raise awareness about the need to maintain turtles, tortoises, and their increasingly disappearing habitats.
This year's World Turtle Day theme is 'I Love Turtles,' emphasising the critical need to conserve these species and their future in the face of dwindling habitats.
The event was first celebrated in 2000, making 2023 the 24th anniversary of the observance.
According to ATR, around 61 percent of turtles worldwide are threatened or already extinct.
