Turtle Day is a holiday celebrated on May 23
This day was intended to draw attention to the problems of conservation of turtles and their habitats.
Sea turtles have been living in the oceans of the world for more than 100 million years.
🏖However, today the turtles are under threat. Moreover, they die not only because of their accidental catch by people during fishing. Another problem is the active development of the beach strip: sea turtles lay eggs on the beaches, and the cubs should freely get into the ocean. Human intervention greatly complicates this process.
♻️Environmental pollution and climate change also have a big impact
