The Tusk Turtle Trail is a spectacular London street art installation that will convene renowned artists in a celebration of marine turtles, to raise awareness of and funds for endangered marine species.
Marine turtles have navigated our oceans for over 100 million years, yet six out of seven species are now threatened with extinction. From entanglement in fishing gear to plastic pollution and rising sea levels, human activity has decimated turtle populations across the globe.
Following the success of Tusk’s Rhino, Lion and Gorilla Trails held between 2018 and 2023, Tusk’s Turtle Trail will feature 16 life-sized turtle sculptures displayed in prominent locations on the streets of the capital this summer.
Each sculpture will tell a unique story, celebrating turtles’ beauty whilst drawing attention to the threats to their existence and the people working tirelessly in Africa to protect them. Funds raised through the 2025 Turtle Trail will directly support Tusk’s Partners’ marine conservation projects.
