Turtles Need You!
Predation by introduced species such as foxes continues to be a major threat to the survival of our freshwater turtles. To help us better understand the impact of foxes on freshwater turtles, we are calling out to all the turtle champs out there to participate in our National Nest Predation Survey. If you are ready to get started with your online training, click below. The training ensures that you are on the right track to set up and run the survey.

our program aims
Increase survival rates of freshwater turtles and turtle nests, and by doing so, increase our turtle populations by at least 1 million. Hence the program name '1 Million Turtles'.

MORE About the Program
The 1 Million Turtles is a national community conservation citizen science program. This program promotes a strong collaboration between scientists and the community to support initiatives aimed at conserving threatened Australian freshwater turtle species.
The program creates opportunities for the community to actively learn, participate and contribute to freshwater turtle research and conservation. This is achieved through a variety of activities suitable for different interests and skill levels. Watch the video below for more information.
The program is currently funded via a grant from the Inspiring Australia Citizen Science Grant - Round 2.
