Tortoise sanctuaries are protected areas dedicated to the care and rehabilitation of tortoises and turtles. These facilities provide a safe environment for injured, abandoned, or endangered species, allowing them to recover and thrive. Sanctuaries often focus on education and conservation efforts, raising awareness about the importance of protecting these reptiles and their habitats. Many tortoise sanctuaries also participate in breeding programs to help increase populations of threatened species. They often collaborate with organizations like Wildlife Conservation Society and World Wildlife Fund to promote research and conservation initiatives. Visitors can learn about tortoise care and the challenges these animals face in the wild.
