Turtles released back to the wild.
#1
This is such good news. There is a lot of conservation work being done with Ontario native species.

Something that is part of this story is the mention of Rouge valley Park. We have designated a large area along the Rouge River as a natural habitat to be preserved. So within the Toronto area there is a large conservation area. It is home to many species of birds, mammals, fish and even reptiles. Now there are ten more Blandings Turtles.Smiley34

I still can't believe we have that big a "park" in the city area.
They have done wonders with the fish too. They cleaned up the stream and restored it to its natural state.

The turtles are too cute. Heart

That is good news. The species as a whole globally is under a lot of pressure, from fishing, pollution and boat caused injuries, not to mention natural predators.

I've always found them such appealing creatures. The world would be much the poorer without them.

There are people working in Ontario to help our local turtles. We have wildlife centres and turtle rescue centres. Every little bit counts.
The Rouge Park is amazing. It gives turtles and other local wildlife a chance. These ten little turtles can grow up to be many more turtles as long as we preserve their habitat.
