Mission: The New York Turtle and Tortoise Society, founded in 1970 as an organization to exchange among members both the captive care and scientific information on these unique animals. However, increasing awareness of the dire conservation status of many of the world's turtle species has brought about a profound shift in the organization's focus. Conservation and environmental issues as they relate to the survival of turtle species has become a major focus of the Society's mission.
