Tortoise protection refers to efforts aimed at conserving and safeguarding various species of tortoises from threats such as habitat loss, poaching, and climate change. These initiatives often involve creating protected areas, enforcing laws against illegal trade, and raising public awareness about the importance of tortoises in ecosystems. Organizations dedicated to tortoise protection work on breeding programs, rehabilitation of injured tortoises, and habitat restoration. They collaborate with local communities to promote sustainable practices that benefit both people and tortoise populations, ensuring these ancient reptiles can thrive for future generations.
