Climbing the ladder of conservation: A worker transports precious clam shells for safekeeping, while around the world, people work tirelessly to protect various shelled animals. From endangered turtles in the Middle East, to Aldabra giant tortoises in the Seychelles, and hermit crabs on tropical beaches, these creatures face numerous threats. Yet, through dedicated efforts by builders, boaters, and nature parks, these animals are being saved and given a chance to thrive. Olive Ridley turtle hatchlings make their way to the sea, Aldabra giant tortoises enjoy carrots and mates, and hermit crabs scuttle along the sand. Each shelled creature plays a vital role in their ecosystems, and their preservation is crucial for the health of our planet.
