Turtle Survival Alliance is a global conservation organization that works to create a planet where tortoises and freshwater turtles can thrive in the wild. Our science-based initiatives are directed by local leaders, inspiring sustainable, community-based stewardship to prevent extinctions. Where populations cannot yet thrive in the wild, our captive breeding programs preserve opportunities for their future survival. Our Vision A planet where turtles thrive in the wild, and are respected and protected by all humans. Our Mission To protect and restore wild populations of tortoises and freshwater turtles through science-based conservation, global leadership, and local stewardship.
