Healing? No. Illegal? Yes. Turtle meat isn’t medicine—it’s a toxic myth still haunting Odisha, Bengal, Assam, and Chhattisgarh. Protect lives. Bust the lie. #TurtleMyth #NotAMedicine #Threat #saynototurtletrade #Mythbuster #AnimalRights #MissionKachhua #ITCPIndia #TSAFI

They can’t nest, they can’t rest because we’re stealing their sand. Clandestine mining is wiping out our river turtles. Let’s raise our voice before it's too late! #SaveTurtles #StopSandMining #WildlifeUnderThreat #missionkachhua #itcpindia #tsafi #riverbanks

Painting a turtle’s shell isn’t cute—it’s harmful. Let nature wear its own colors. #TurtleAwareness #NoShellPainting #RespectWildlife #NotYourCanvas #TurtleHealth #LeaveWildlifeWild #saveturtles #MissionKacchua #ITCPIndia #tsafi
