What are ways to protect the desert?

I went to google "desert tortoise" and before I even finished typing the ninth suggestion down was "desert tortoise preserve committee" and clicking on it shows you their site that's all about them 'Working to conserve the endangered desert tortoise by protecting the habitat it needs to survive.'

I didn't even have to search for it, it was just there. I'm sorry but you obviously didn't look at all. Also Googling "desert tortoise" links you to sites that tell you everything else you need to know.
