Check out the 7 Perks of Ownership. We treat every Terrible Turtle owner and supporter with utmost royalty.&#x20;

## NFT for a cause

Turtles are dying around the world due to illegal hunting, plastic pollution, climate change, and more. Healthy oceans need turtles because they are keystone species which means they are an important part of their environment. If a keystone species is removed from a habitat, the natural order can be disrupted, which impacts other wildlife and fauna in different ways.&#x20;

With the help of Terrible Turtles, you can play a big role in helping the endangered turtles. We will be donating 25% from each turtle sold to [Save The Turtles](https://www.seeturtles.org/) and [Team Seas](https://teamseas.org/).  We want to take this opportunity to make a greater change in the world and you can be a part of this mission while getting rewarded for it.&#x20;

#### Save The Turtles by See Turtles Organization

The See Turtles Organization is pledging to save at least 10 endangered turtles hatchlings on every $1 donation, your money will also go to save baby sea turtles at important nesting beaches, protect hawksbills from the turtle shell trade & get plastic out of turtle habitat.

#### Team Seas by Mr Beast and Mark Rober

Team Seas created by YouTube stars Mr. Beast and Mark Rober pledges to take one less pound of trash in the ocean on every $1 donation. In a recent study, more than 1,000 turtles die from pollution per year, and of course, pollution does not only affect the lives of turtles but also other marine life. Its been proven that over 1 million marine animals are killed each year due to pollution. All together, we can take that number to 0.&#x20;

### Non-profit Decentralized Organization

The mission does not stop there. Once this project continues to progress we are planning to launch a non-profit decentralized organization, and it won't only help the turtles. **This DAO will focus on helping to solve problems happening all around the globe.**

Terrible Turtles owners will play a big part in this movement. Owners can take part in critical decisions of the organization by having voting rights. An example is putting on a vote on where the money should be donated, or creating a donation portfolio wherein Owners can decide what organizations to donate to.
