Your $20 Gift will Help Gopher Tortoise Conservation!

    Support SaveTheTortoises.org

    There is only a small window of time left to implement the changes necessary for the threatened gopher tortoise species to not only survive, but thrive once again in the Southeast.


    Without a viable solution in place to relocate them out of harms way and onto protected conservation land they could face extinction. But by working together, we're overcoming barriers to the solutions our environment around us needs to survive.


    🐾  We could not do this important work without YOU.  Your generosity is greatly appreciated and will be "matched" and essentially doubled by tortoise recipient site fees we will receive from the land we acquire.

    Why Your Donation Matters

    “Every acre we protect is one acre saved from development.”

    The Gopher Tortoise is a keystone species. By creating their burrows they provide shelter for over 350 other species, thus maintaining the biodiversity and ecological health of it's surrounding habitat.


    By becoming a member of The Tortoise Conservancy you sponsor not only an incredible gopher tortoise's rescue, but you also support the hundreds of other animals and insects so closely reliant on their existence.


    Together, we can align the need for human expansion alongside maintaining sustainable protected habitat for gopher tortoises and the biodiversity they are such an important part of.

    HABITAT PRESERVATION

    Our primary objective at The Tortoise Conservancy is to preserve and expand natural habitats for gopher tortoises. We acquire and manage land to ensure these vital ecosystems are permanently protected with conservation easements and maintained for future generations.


    RESEARCH & MONITORING

    To better understand and protect gopher tortoises, we work hand in hand with government agencies, biologists, and volunteers to conduct and support scientific research. This includes monitoring tortoise populations, studying their behaviors, and assessing habitat health.


    CONSERVATION EDUCATION

    We are committed to educating the public about the importance of gopher tortoises and their ecosystems. We hope by establishing the Upper Suwannee Wildlife Education Center on our site in Live Oak, FL we be able to raise awareness and foster a conservation-minded community.

    $20 Donation | Support The Tortoise Conservancy

    The Tortoise Conservancy's mission with Your Help is to establish over 10,000 acres as Wildlife Sanctuaries & Tortoise Preserves across Florida by 2035. Today your gift will go toward supporting our Upper Suwannee Wildlife Education Center in Live Oak, FL, and the cost of acquiring other suitable land tracts for our Wildlife Sanctuaries & Gopher Tortoise Preserves.


    Our long-term goal is to become completely self-sustaining as an organization through tortoise recipient site fees as tortoises are brought under our care.  By doing so we will become less dependent on donations for future land acquisition, making your gift today multiply itself exponentially with the proceeds we will collect from the fees levied on developers who are trying to destroy their habitats.  🦋 🐢
