Turtle Day will be held all over the world on May 23. This day (World Turtle Day) was launched in the year 2000 and since then, all the attention has been paid to the dying turtles on this day. They are the oldest species on this Earth, but now more and more are dying. Of course, that's awful! 

That extinction is of course due to all kinds of factors, but the main cause is the enormous pollution of the seas, beaches and nature reserves. The living space of the turtles is getting smaller and man is their greatest enemy. We really need to do something about that!
