But before we know more about World Turtle Day 2022, let us know what are turtles?<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"What_are_Turtles\"><\/span><strong>What are Turtles?<br \/>\n<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Turtles belong to the <span style=\"color: #000000;\"><a style=\"color: #000000;\" href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Turtle\"><strong>Testudines<\/strong> <\/a><\/span>order set apart by a shell evolve from their ribs. They belong to the class Reptilia and prefer to live in freshwater or sea. Their shell consists of the top(carapace) and bottom(plastron) parts. Carapace and plastron meet on either side of the body, thus creating a rigid skeletal box.<\/p>\n<p>With thirteen families in the order, turtles have more than 360 living and recently extinct species. Just like other mammals, reptiles, and birds, turtles breathe air and lay eggs on land even when many species live around or in water.<\/p>\n<p>Turtles now in recent years face threats and a rapid decrease in their population for many reasons. The goal of celebrating World Turtle Day 2022 is not only to rescue but to rehabilitate the different species of turtles and tortoises.<\/p>\n<h3><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"History_of_World_Turtle_Day_2022\"><\/span><strong>History of World Turtle Day 2022<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Most people don\u2019t know the difference between a tortoise and a turtle. The major difference between the two is that tortoises live only on land while turtles <span style=\"color: #000000;\">live on both water and land<\/span>. The other difference is the lifespan of turtles which is approx.40 years whereas tortoises can live up to 300 years.<\/p>\n<p>The next difference is the shell, tortoises have dome-like shells while turtles mostly have flat and streamlined shells. Now coming into their <a href=\"https:\/\/rememberanimals.com\/types-of-animals-based-on-habitat\/\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>habitat<\/strong><\/span><\/a>, the tortoises reside in grasslands and dense jungles whereas turtles mostly live in the sea.<\/p>\n<p>Even if they are different, World Turtle Day 2022 is devoted to protecting and celebrating both. Due to environmental hazards and human interference, World Turtle Day was first celebrated by <a href=\"https:\/\/nationaltoday.com\/world-turtle-day\/\"><span style=\"color: #000000;\"><strong>American Tortoise Rescue<\/strong> <\/span><\/a>(ATR) in 2002 on May 23<sup>rd<\/sup>. The goal was to spotlight the suffering and issues which these innocent animals face. Nature lovers, schools, and rescue centers all unite on this day to learn more about these creatures and promise their loyalty to help save them.<\/p>\n<p>American Tortoise Rescue (ATR) was founded in 1990. It is the result of the joint efforts of the husband-and-wife team Susan Tellem and Marshal Thompson. ATR is a non-profit organization that saves and re-establish all species of turtles and tortoises. It also focuses on protecting the habitat of these animals.
