The TC is excited to report that our 2019 end-of-the-year fundraising campaign was a major success! Because of the generous support of our donors, we were able to greatly exceed our goal of $50,000 (we raised over $150,000!!) which was matched dollar for dollar. We are beyond grateful for the influx of donations in over just a few weeks. It is not only the donations from our supporters, but our shared enthusiasm for turtle conservation that keeps us inspired to continue our work.
Every dollar goes to our on-the-ground conservation programs in 2020. This year that includes building A LOT of fencing in areas like Mexico and South Africa, to protect critical habitats for critically endangered tortoises. The donations also support our local programs, protecting terrapin populations in New Jersey and breeding endangered turtles at our conservation center. Together with our supporters, we are dedicated to securing a future for many endangered turtles and tortoises.
