AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoAldabra Conservation: A new island-wide estimate puts the Aldabra giant tortoise population at nearly 183,000 — the highest recorded. The population appears stable, though climate change and invasive animals remain threats. Public Health Engineering: Ashveen Jeetun’s appointment as KPM Associate Director brings 24 years of experience, including work in Seychelles, in water and wastewater systems and preventing waterborne disease. Longevity Research: Scientists studying Jonathan, the Seychelles-born tortoise estimated to be 194, found genetic patterns linked to DNA repair and other defences against ageing. Researchers hope the findings may eventually inform work on healthy ageing in people. Atoll Resilience: Research suggests restoring native vegetation and seabird populations could help atolls adapt to rising seas, with lessons for vulnerable island environments.
