You should keep them wild
If you still want to adopt a turtle as a pet, you should try your best to keep it wild. “For every turtle taken from the wild, that species may be one step closer to extinction,” says Dr. Deem. “My advice—keep ’em wild!”
If you love turtles, you can still help them with donations or volunteering by garbage collecting on the beach, because they need your help even though they live in the wild. So, all you have to do is to find an organization that protects them and you can help with donations or volunteering.
