The San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance in the United States has recently welcomed 41 little hatchlings of the Indian narrow-headed softshell turtle, a rare and endangered turtle that takes nearly two decades to breed. According to NPR, these rare turtle eggs were hatched in North America for the first time by a recognised conservation organisation.

According to its official website, the San Diego Zoo Wildlife Alliance is a global, non-profit conservation organisation with two entrances. They combine animal health and care, science, and education to provide long-term conservation solutions.

Everything they do revolves on conservation. And it all starts with the daily interactions they have with people and nature. Because when wildlife thrives, so does all life.
