The Tusk Turtle Trail features 16 life-sized turtle sculptures in central London to raise awareness for marine conservation. Key locations include Covent Garden and Piccadilly Circus. The project is organized by the African wildlife conservation charity Tusk in collaboration with celebrities such as Ronnie Wood and Deborah Meaden. The trail emphasizes the urgent need to protect oceans and endangered sea turtles, with stories highlighting conservation issues. The sculptures will remain until September, after which they will be auctioned to fund marine conservation efforts.
The trail features stories that highlight the reasons why ocean conservation is needed. Meaden said: "We see wildlife on land, and it triggers emotion: it is visible, tangible, and easy to connect with. The ocean is too often out of mind, and yet it is the beating heart of our planet - the force that sustains all life forms. If the ocean dies, so does the planet. It's that simple, and that urgent."
The sculptures will stay in place until September, before they are auctioned off through Tusk to raise funds for marine conservation.
