Conservation. Wildlife. World. Day. What do these words have I common? December 4 is World Wildlife Conservation Day. It is my opinion, that every day should be World Wildlife Conservation Day.

Most recently, I went to the Loggerhead Marinelife Center, in Juno Beach, Florida. They actively practice and promote conservation solutions with more than 90 partners across 16 countries and 6 continents. Conservation day is every day for them.

They rescue and rehabilitate sea turtles. They have in-person and virtual educational programs. Monitoring and protecting sea turtle nests on the beaches of Florida is a priority.

Charles LeBuff, now 86, is the patriarch of the Florida sea turtle conservation. All kids live turtles. I love turtles. Mr. LeBuff is still intrigued by sea turtles. We both are big kids at heart.

I was happy to see familiar signs at the Loggerhead Marinelife Center. Quiet, turtles recovering. Do not enter, turtle surgical hospital. Caring for wildlife means caring for the turtles during health and illness, good times, and bad times. Caring means conservation of their home, food supply, and life in this world, on this world planet.

Thank you, Loggerhead Marinelife Center, for assisting the sea turtles in their life’s journey and practicing World Wildlife Conservation Day every day.
