Head over to TurtleSAT to see the hotspots of turtle activity near you. Identifying hotspots helps councils know where to implement conservation efforts such as road barriers. 🚗

Other species can benefit from the barriers, too! Snakes and blue-tongue lizards were observed being directed away from the roads because of the barriers. 🐢🐍 🦎
