With the South-Western Long-necked Turtles nesting event in full swing, West Aussies are being urged to look out for the endangered reptile.

The nesting event makes the turtles susceptible to cars, cyclists, dogs, and introduced foxes and feral cats putting their already declining population at risk.

WA Wildlife CEO Dean Huxley told Julie-anne Sprague on 6PR Afternoons people should know what to do if they come across the creatures.

“If they’re not injured move them into a safer spot,” said Mr Huxley.
