Nature conservation and commitment

The East African Rift Valley is not just reshaping Africa’s landscape—it may also have significant long-term consequences for wildlife, including tortoises that rely on specific habitats. Species such as the Pancake Tortoise and Hinge-back Tortoises could face challenges as habitats fragment and climates shift. This article explores the geological processes at play, their potential impact on tortoise populations, and the conservation efforts needed to protect these ancient reptiles.

More than just slow creatures, turtles play an important role in the environment. They help aerate the soil when they dig, and they spread plant seeds that they eat. This article explains how turtles shape their habitat and why it's important to protect them. Protecting turtles also helps to protect the nature we all depend on for our survival. Find out more about the valuable role turtles play and how each of us can help protect them.
