2. Protect Turtles and Tortoises Turtles and
tortoises need protection in order to save them
from various kinds of threats. One thing that
helps much in this regard is dont eat them!
3. Dont buy them from pet shops Never buy
turtle or tortoise from pet shops. If the demand
decreases then automatically the sales will
decrease ( thereby these animals survive in
their natural habitat).

4. Report illegal sales It is illegal to sell
tortoises or turtles that have not grown to four
inch or more (in size). If any such sales happen,
then report it immediately!   5. Give
emergency care You might suddenly find a
tortoise crossing a street that is crowded
where chances are there for the animal to get
hurt then pick it up place it in a safe area.
But place it in the same direction in which it
was moving or else it will turn around and
continue its journey.

6. Report cruelty Feeling that you cannot stop
the cruelty by yourself but require support? Then
report the cruelty to gather adequate help.
7. Never remove them from wild for having pets
Like how we love our home, animals too love
theirs. So let them live happily in their natural
environment.
