Kids for Turtles is a symbolic name – it combines children, who are our future, and turtles from our past – to form a promising outlook for our environment. Turtles have lived on earth for over 250 million years without becoming extinct, unlike many species.

Within the past few decades, human activity has had a devastating impact on turtles. Turtles are a “canary in the coal mine.” Our children will live in the world we have left to them and they will be responsible for it. This is why it is essential that our young people learn about our natural environment.
