🚧🐢 Not all heroes wear hard hats… some carry tortoises off the road.
Recently, a desert tortoise got a second chance thanks to quick action, skilled hands, and a whole lot of care.
Out here in the Mojave, roads don’t just connect people—they cut through habitat.
And for a species like the desert tortoise, a single crossing can be life or death.
Here’s how you can help:
• Slow down in desert habitat
• Stay alert—especially in spring and after rains
• Never pick up or move a tortoise unless you are trained/authorized
(Yes… even when they look like they need a ride. We promise, they didn’t call Uber.)
Huge respect to the team that stepped in to make this save possible.
This is what conservation looks like in action. 💪🌵
