Leatherback Trust also recently embarked on an environmental education program at the local and national level. Two of the most successful public outreach programs cosponsored by The Leatherback Trust were The Great Sea Turtle Race and Cheer For The Turtles.

Loggerhead shrike length, tail length, and colour. "L. l. migrans" have a paler forehead than the top of the head.
