World Turtle Day
Today, May 23, many countries celebrate World Turtle Day, an animal that symbolizes wisdom, wealth and longevity.
This unusual holiday was born in 2000 on the initiative of American Tortoise Rescue. This organization was founded by enthusiasts in 1990 in Malibu (California, USA) to preserve the population of turtles living in the vicinity of the city.
The purpose of the holiday was to attract public attention to the problem of the death of a large number of turtles due to neighborhood with people.
On this day, in all turtles' habitats, actions are carried out, during which volunteers rescue animals, making for them transitions under busy roads in places of migration or in other dangerous places.
Also, the participants of the action seek for the sea coasts, where sea turtles lay eggs, the status of protected areas.
In recent years, Turtle Day is celebrated not only in the corners of the globe where these animals are found, but also in many other countries of the world.
On this day, people try to exclude from their diet dishes from turtles, and from everyday life - objects made from their shell (crests, boxes, etc.).
The celebration includes masquerades in suits of turtles with funny scenes from the life of animals, dancing turtles and sending out cheerful postcards with their image. It is enough to include imagination, and you too can support this wonderful tradition.
