Turtles reach maturity at a late age, with some species requiring up to 20 years before they can reproduce. Eggs and juveniles are vulnerable to a wide variety of predators, and it is estimated that less than 1 in 100 eggs laid will reach adulthood. As a result, it can take decades for an adult to be replaced in the population. Many of the anthropogenic threats to turtles listed above remove adults from populations at unsustainable rates that the low survival rates of eggs and juveniles cannot keep up with, which can lead to severe population declines. However, <strong>not all hope is lost for turtles in Canada<\/strong>. There are many ways that we can all contribute to turtle conservation and help prevent declines of our local turtle populations.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Keep an eye out for turtles on the road.<\/strong><br \/>\nThis is especially important during nesting season (late-May to early-July) when females travel on land to lay their eggs. When safe to do so, always move turtles off the road in the direction that they were going. If you find an injured turtle, contact a local wildlife rehabilitator, vet, or conservation organization that can help to get it medical attention ASAP. In Ontario, contact the <a href=\"https:\/\/ontarioturtle.ca\/ourmission\/drop-off\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre.<\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>Volunteer with a local conservation project.<\/strong><br \/>\nThere are numerous projects, especially in Ontario, that work to improve the survival of turtle nests by deploying nest protectors, collecting and incubating eggs laid in precarious locations, headstarting hatchlings, and increasing public education and awareness. There are a variety of ways to contribute to these efforts and during nesting season, projects often need all the help they can get! Check out the <a href=\"https:\/\/otcn.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ontario Turtle Conservation Network<\/a> for a map of turtle projects to find one in your area.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Prioritize habitat protection<\/strong><br \/>\nTo enhance turtle habitats on your own property, consider planting native and removing invasive species of vegetation, maintaining fallen logs and debris for basking sites, <a href=\"https:\/\/chrome-extension:\/\/efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj\/https:\/\/cwf-fcf.org\/en\/resources\/downloads\/booklets-handouts\/turtle_nesting_site_en.pdf\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">creating artificial nesting mounds<\/a>et les <a href=\"https:\/\/chrome-extension:\/\/efaidnbmnnnibpcajpcglclefindmkaj\/https:\/\/cwf-fcf.org\/en\/explore\/turtles\/htt_nest_protector_en_lr.pdf?src=htt\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">building nest protectors<\/a>. Habitat protection can also scale up to your community as well. Make your voice heard within your local governments and vote with the environment in mind!<\/p>\n<p><strong>Report your sightings<\/strong><br \/>\nRecording and submitting your turtle observations to community science projects is a simple yet valuable way to contribute to conservation efforts. When reporting to <a href=\"https:\/\/inaturalist.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">iNaturalist<\/a> in particular, your findings are shared to scientific data repositories like<a href=\"https:\/\/www.natureserve.org\/canada\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"> NatureServe Canada<\/a>, a registered charity that runs a network of provincial and territorial Conservation Data Centres (CDC\u2019s) across the country. CDC\u2019s allow species occurrence data to be accessed by governments, private industry, researchers, and conservation organizations, which can then be used for conservation-related purposes such as identifying hot spots of road mortality, determining the extent of a species\u2019 geographic range, or even discovering previously unknown populations to be protected.<\/p>\n<p>Before submitting to iNaturalist, check out these tips from the Canadian Wildlife Federation on how to make the most of your observations.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n\n<style type=\"text\/css\" data-created_by=\"avia_inline_auto\" id=\"style-css-av-lfx24zai-e22c2fc75c801d77b066f63dc644a6d8\">\n.avia-image-container.av-lfx24zai-e22c2fc75c801d77b066f63dc644a6d8 img.avia_image{\nbox-shadow:none;\n}\n.avia-image-container.av-lfx24zai-e22c2fc75c801d77b066f63dc644a6d8 .av-image-caption-overlay-center{\ncolor:#ffffff;\n}\n<\/style>\n<div  class='avia-image-container av-lfx24zai-e22c2fc75c801d77b066f63dc644a6d8 av-styling- avia-align-center  avia-builder-el-15  el_after_av_textblock  el_before_av_textblock'   itemprop=\"image\" itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/ImageObject\" ><div class=\"avia-image-container-inner\"><div class=\"avia-image-overlay-wrap\"><img fetchpriority=\"high\" class='wp-image-38043 avia-img-lazy-loading-not-38043 avia_image' src='https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/01\/w-WGCOT_TurtlePoster.jpg' alt='' title='w-WGCOT_TurtlePoster'  height=\"524\" width=\"829\"  itemprop=\"thumbnailUrl\"  \/><\/div><\/div><\/div><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfx25vb7-c1307781be3bdff291e75292bde63912'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p style=\"text-align: center;\"><em>Credit: Working Group for the Conservation of Ontario Turtles. <\/em><\/p>\n<\/div><\/section><br \/>\n<section  class='av_textblock_section av-lfx2a5op-f119349f7d8475fedc5ad273a3162875'   itemscope=\"itemscope\" itemtype=\"https:\/\/schema.org\/BlogPosting\" itemprop=\"blogPost\" ><div class='avia_textblock'  itemprop=\"text\" ><p>The poster above was created in partnership with <a href=\"https:\/\/cwf-fcf.org\/en\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Canadian Wildlife Federation<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/christinadavy.wordpress.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Carleton University<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/ontarioturtle.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Ontario Turtle Conservation Centre<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.scalesnaturepark.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Scales Nature Park<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.torontozoo.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Toronto Zoo<\/a>, <a href=\"https:\/\/thamesriver.on.ca\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Upper Thames River Conservation Authority<\/a>et les <a href=\"https:\/\/wildlifepreservation.ca\/fr\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Conservation de la faune au Canada<\/a>.
