Did you celebrate World Turtle Day on May 23rd? This relatively new designation (going back only to 2000) is to increase knowledge of and respect for turtle and tortoises and to encourage people to help these wonderful creatures to survive and thrive. Check out this page on the Humane Society of the United States website for more information about this special day.Some Australians celebrated the day by building giant sand sculptures of flat back turtle on beaches around Australia. Visit this website to view great pictures. http://news.smh.com.au/breaking-news-national/world-turtle-day-marked-in-sand-20100523-w3pv.html
