AGP Executive Report
Last update: 8 hours agoSeychelles Conservation: A new estimate puts Aldabra’s giant tortoise population at about 180,000—more than the country’s human population. Researchers say the figure reflects a more comprehensive count, not necessarily a recent population surge, and highlights the value of long-term protection. Aging Research: Scientists studying Jonathan, a Seychelles-born Aldabra tortoise estimated to be 194, found genetic features linked to DNA repair and cellular energy, alongside unusually youthful activity in some gene controls. The findings may help research into aging, but do not yet point to human treatments. Teacher Wellbeing: A Teachers’ Week workshop on health, wellbeing and resilience also honoured Praslin educator Nadege Medor, who has spent 40 years in education.
