The American Tortoise Rescue (ATR) champions World Turtle Day, a nonprofit organization established in 1990 for the protection of all species of tortoise and turtle.
ATR launched World Turtle Day to increase respect and knowledge for the world’s oldest creatures. These gentle animals have been around for 200 million years, yet they are rapidly disappearing due to smuggling, the exotic food industry, habitat destruction, global warming, and the cruel pet trade.
ATR’s ultimate goal is to stop the illegal trade in turtles and tortoises worldwide. The priority in the United States is to ask pet stores and reptile shows to stop selling hatchling tortoises and turtles without informing pet buyers about their future pets. For example, many people buy sulcata tortoises as impulse buys because they are so adorable when tiny. The breeders and pet stores frequently do not tell the buyers that this tortoise can grow to 100 pounds or more and needs constant heat throughout the year since they do not hibernate.
