Since 2011, The Turtle Conservancy's "The Tortoise" magazine has united photographers, artists, and dedicated friends to creatively champion turtle preservation and environmental concerns. The current issue captures a world where conservation progress and social justice are faltering due to climate urgency and extinction threats. Unforeseen shifts, like book bans and legal reversals, have emerged. The theme "perpetuity" highlights the instability in nature and democracy, disrupted by human greed

The issue explores AI risks, balancing negatives with promises, and delves into technology's role in wildlife trafficking. Climate change impacts, from Australian turtles to the Conservancy's reserves, are discussed. Amid challenges, hope shines: exemplified in an interview with Patagonia's founder, Yvon Chouinard, who committed his company to climate action. Interviews with artist Kenny Scharf and poet Max Blagg, explore humanity's link to nature. "Perpetuity" reminds us of change's constancy, urging united efforts against extinction and climate crisis.
