World Turtle Day

May 23, 2026

Turtle swimming in a bright blue sea for World Turtle Day

World Turtle Day emerges from its shell on 23rd May, shining a spotlight on these ancient and majestic creatures and the conservation efforts aimed at protecting them. Unlike some observances, World Turtle Day surfaces on the same date every year, inviting turtle enthusiasts and conservationists worldwide to raise awareness and take action for the well-being of turtles and tortoises.

This global initiative celebrates the diversity and importance of turtles and tortoises in ecosystems around the world. From sea turtles gliding gracefully through ocean waters to land-dwelling tortoises meandering through their habitats, these remarkable reptiles play vital roles in maintaining ecological balance.

To honour the spirit of World Turtle Day and advocate for turtle conservation, here are some content ideas to inspire turtle-themed education and activism:

  • Share captivating photos and videos of turtles and tortoises in their natural habitats, showcasing their beauty and diversity
  • Highlight conservation success stories and initiatives aimed at protecting turtle populations and their habitats
  • Provide educational resources, such as infographics, articles, and videos, to raise awareness about the threats facing turtles and tortoises, including habitat loss, pollution, and poaching
  • Organize virtual events, webinars, or fundraisers, inviting participants to learn more about turtle conservation and support conservation efforts
  • Collaborate with wildlife experts, researchers, conservation organizations, and turtle advocates to amplify messages of turtle conservation and inspire action
