AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Longevity Research: DNA analysis of Jonathan, a 194-year-old Aldabra giant tortoise native to Seychelles, found unusually youthful gene activity linked to cellular energy production. Researchers say this may offer clues to healthy ageing, but it is not yet a path to human treatments. Aldabra Conservation: A survey estimates about 180,000 giant tortoises live on Aldabra Atoll, a remarkable recovery from fewer than 1,000 after centuries of hunting. Researchers say the population appears stable, but the species still needs protection. Flood Readiness: A local commentary warns that concrete development and neglected riverbanks can leave Seychelles communities more exposed to flooding during heavy rain. Vaccination: A measles outbreak in Bangladesh, with nearly 900 suspected deaths, is a stark reminder that falling vaccination coverage can leave children vulnerable.
