🐢🙌 Today is World Environment Day! 🎉
Our wildlife rescue journey efforts began in 1995, and over the past three decades, our efforts have grown tremendously. Thanks to YOUR support, we've rehabilitated and released more than 6,000 animals back into their natural habitats! We are currently caring for 12 green sea turtles recovering from the cold stun event this past January. Our team continues to perform weekly weigh-ins and health checks on all patients, administering any necessary medications or treatments at the Sea Turtle Hospital.

Thank you for being part of this incredible journey, every rescue, every release, and every life saved is possible because of your support! 🌿💚💙
