Ojeee!!

Ojeee!!
Our largest colleague in the middle of the country has stopped receiving the common invasive species of turtles, i.e. the red-chested, yellow-chested and yellow-bellied turtles. As a result, we are already receiving many more applications for shelter than usual. This will be something in the summer with the many turtles found... We therefore urgently need to build a second indoor residence, otherwise we can never offer all these aquatic turtles a decent place. Unfortunately, the law says that when there is no room for an invasive species, it must be euthanized! We have been successfully trying to prevent this for years! Thanks to our donors and volunteers!  Would you help with a small donation to make this happen? https://www.geef.nl/nl/actie/help-onze-schildpadden-aan-een-tweede-groot-binnenverblijf/donateurs
