The Two Hands Project is a new and collaborative approach to cleaning up our world. Two hands takes the spirit of national and international cleanup days, bringing it back to the individual, allowing you to care for the place you live, anytime you want. All it takes is 30 minutes, two hands and, in our case, your local waterway.

The Red Eared Slider turtle is not native to Australia but has established isolated populations in Australia as well as in other countries. The Red Eared Slider has significant potential to spread further in Australia so it is important to report any found in the wild.
The Turtle Survival Alliance is a global partnership of individuals, zoos, aquariums, biologists and researchers who have joined together to help conserve threatened turtle species around the world. Turtles are among the world’s most endangered vertebrates, with about half of their more than 300 species threatened with extinction.
