Return of Giant Tortoises to Galápagos Island Marks Historic Milestone

Conservationists have achieved a significant milestone with the reintroduction of 158 juvenile giant tortoises on the Galápagos island of Floreana. The original native species, Chelonoidis niger niger, was wiped out in the 1840s due to extensive human intervention. This effort, part of the Floreana Ecological Restoration Project, aims to restore Floreana's native ecosystem and follows a breeding program initiated in 2017 after discovering tortoises with Floreana ancestry on Isabela island. The project, supported by the Galápagos Conservation Trust, marks hope for future ecological restoration globally. Dr. Jen Jones of GCT highlighted this moment as a testament to long-term collaboration among scientists and the local community.
