AGP Executive Report

Last update: 6 hours ago

Longevity Research: Scientists studying Jonathan, a Seychelles-born Aldabra giant tortoise estimated to be 194, found genetic traits linked to DNA repair, metabolism and cellular energy. The findings may help researchers understand ageing, but they do not yet point to treatments for people. Conservation: A survey led by the Seychelles Islands Foundation and the University of Exeter estimates about 180,000 giant tortoises live on Aldabra Atoll. The count, based on monitoring from 2018 to 2022, is the first comprehensive estimate in decades and highlights the value of long-term protection. Teacher Wellbeing: A Teachers’ Week workshop on health, wellbeing and resilience brought educators together on Praslin, alongside celebrations of veteran teacher Nadege Medor’s 40 years in education.
