Sea turtles, unfortunately, like so many other creatures on our planet are in danger, largely because of us humans and our encroachment on their natural habitat.

You may not be able to do much, but you can adopt a sea turtle and gift it to someone who loves these amphibians. Although they won’t get a sea turtle to take home, they will be kept up to date regularly on how their adopted animal is getting on.
