Welcome to the Tortoise Protection Group Website

The Tortoise Protection Group is a non-profit organisation founded in 2007.

 

 

 

Our site is dedicated to helping ensure the survival of tortoises in the wild by campaigning for a ban on the importation of tortoises for the commercial pet trade, and to promote high standards of husbandry to tortoise keepers in the UK.

With your help we can make a difference

Please sign our petition it will only take a minute of your time.

Watch our graphic slide show - not for the faint hearted.

We are a group of volunteers striving to campaign against the importation of tortoises into the UK for the commercial pet trade.  Please help and be assured that any donation gift, no matter how small, will be well spent working towards making a lasting difference for tortoises.  We rely on your generosity to help our cause.
