The western swamp turtle

for the Western Swamp Tortoise

Critically Endangered

By Christopher, age 12

My artwork is based on the western swamp turtle because I love turtles and this particular specie is a critically endangered species of freshwater turtle endemic to a small portion of Western Australia. I would like to raise people's awareness to protect them and their habitat.
