AGP Executive Report
Last update: 3 hours agoIsland Resilience: A new study finds that restoring native vegetation and seabird populations could help atolls keep pace with rising seas. For Seychelles, the findings highlight how healthy reefs and island ecosystems can support climate resilience. Conservation Success: A survey estimates nearly 183,000 giant tortoises live on Aldabra, more than the country’s human population. Decades of protection helped the species rebound from fewer than 1,000. Ageing Research: Scientists studying Jonathan, the Seychelles-born tortoise estimated to be 194, found genetic features linked to DNA repair and cellular health. The findings may guide future ageing research, but they do not yet point to treatments for people.
