1 Million Turtles Community Conservation Program
What's in store for World Turtle Day?
World Turtle Day aims to spread awareness about the importance of turtles
and the need to protect them and their habitats.
To be a part of this day, we have created four engaging lesson plans for your
school to choose from and implement during the week of World Turtle Day.
These lesson plans are designed for Stage 3 students and cover important
topics related to freshwater turtle ecology, threats and conservation. Each
lesson also includes background information and hands-on activities.
