Tortoise Trust
UK-based conservation and care site, with the same goals and purpose as the WCT.  Care sheets, forums, and conservation memberships are featured.

Turtle Survival Alliance

The IUCN Turtle Survival Alliance was formed in response to the Asian Turtle Crisis.  The TSA seeks to preserve options for the recovery of wild turtle populations.  It is the only conservation organization in the world dedicated solely to preventing turtle extinctions.
