AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoAldabra Conservation: A new census estimates nearly 183,000 giant tortoises on Aldabra Atoll, the highest figure recorded. The population appears healthy and relatively stable, but climate change and invasive animals remain threats. Atoll Resilience: Research suggests restoring native vegetation and protecting seabirds could help low-lying islands withstand rising seas by supporting reefs, beaches and stable soils. Ageing Research: Scientists studying Jonathan, a Seychelles-born tortoise estimated to be 194, found genetic features linked to DNA repair and healthy cell function. The findings may guide future ageing research, but are not yet a route to longer human life.
