Hi! My name is Astro!

I’m a radiated tortoise (Astrochelys radiata) from Madagascar, and I came to the Netherlands years ago to become the mascot of the Herpetofauna Foundation. It’s such a cool job! I love telling people about all the reptiles and amphibians that could really use some help.

I get to go on all kinds of awesome adventures, and you can read about them in the books where I’m the star! I usually go on these adventures with my friends, and my absolute best friend is Echo, a dolphin.

Hi! My name is ECHO!

I’m a bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus) and the mascot of Healthy Seas, an organization that works to remove ghost nets from the ocean to protect animals. We turn those nets into cool new products like swimwear and socks. In my children’s book, I have an exciting adventure with Astro, the radiated tortoise!

Astro and I often visit schools to talk about the problems in the ocean. Maybe I’ll see you there!

Whether it's through one of our school projects or something else, we're always up for new ideas. Maybe you have a cool activity in mind at your school where we can join in and make it extra special!
