@turtleconservancy: This rarely happens. Most poached turtles either die in the trade or spend the rest of their lives in captivity. These 24 Eastern box turtles are getting a second chance instead! After months of care and health screenings at the Turtle Conservancy, they're headed back to the wild, thanks to conservation partners at every level who worked tirelessly to make it happen. North American turtles are being poached more than ever, and we've taken in 400+ confiscated turtles in the last six months alone. Help us give more of them a moment like this at the link in our bio. Release day video coming soon! #turtles #boxturtle #wildlife #conservation #turtlerescue #rewilding #wildlifetrafficking
