AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Longevity Research: A study of Jonathan, the 194-year-old Aldabra giant tortoise born in Seychelles, found genetic traits linked to DNA repair, metabolism and cancer suppression. Researchers say his unusually youthful cellular systems could offer clues to healthy human ageing, but the findings are not a treatment. Aldabra Conservation: A new estimate puts the atoll’s giant tortoise population above 180,000. Researchers caution that the higher figure reflects improved counting of animals hidden in vegetation, not necessarily a recent surge. Vaccination Warning: A deadly measles outbreak in Bangladesh, mostly affecting children, highlights how gaps in routine vaccination can leave communities vulnerable. Childhood coverage there has fallen to 87%, underscoring the importance of keeping immunisation programmes on track.
