Last update: 4 hours agoLongevity Research: A new study of Jonathan, the 194-year-old Aldabra giant tortoise originally from Seychelles, found genetic features linked to DNA repair and healthy cell function. Researchers say the findings may offer clues about ageing, but they do not yet point to treatments for people. Marine Health: Regional governments at COP12 adopted plans to tackle marine plastic pollution and strengthen protection for seagrass, mangroves and other coastal habitats. Wildlife Conservation: A survey estimates around 180,000 giant tortoises live on Aldabra, a major recovery from fewer than 1,000 after centuries of hunting. Researchers say the population is stable, though the estimate does not mean the species is out of danger. Teacher Wellbeing: A Teachers’ Week workshop on health, wellbeing and resilience in Praslin also celebrated Nadege Medor, who has spent 40 years in education.
