About Our 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.
