in cooperation with other wildlife rescue organizations and turtle and tortoise
societies.
- Educate ourselves and the public, through public presentations and meetings,
about all aspects of turtle and tortoise care, natural history, and conservation.
- Disseminate the best available information regarding the proper captive husbandry
of turtles and tortoises.
- Disseminate information concerning the plight of wild turtles and tortoises
and effective efforts to help them.
- Provide an adoption service to our members for captive turtles and tortoises
that need new homes.
- Encourage captive breeding programs for turtles and tortoises with a special
emphasis on those species that are threatened by habitat destruction and share
our experiences in this area.
- Work to make captive bred turtles and tortoises available as an alternative
to the trade in wild caught turtles and tortoises.
- Serve as a cooperative to obtain discounts for our members on captive care products
and supplies.
