AGP Executive Report
Last update: 11 hours agoLongevity Research: Scientists studying Jonathan, an Aldabra giant tortoise believed to have been born in Seychelles, found genetic traits linked to DNA repair, metabolism and disease resistance. The findings may offer clues about ageing, but do not yet point to treatments for people. Aldabra Conservation: A new survey estimates nearly 183,000 giant tortoises live on Aldabra, the highest count recorded. Decades of protection have helped the population recover, though climate change and invasive species remain concerns. Island Resilience: Research suggests restoring seabirds and native vegetation, and removing invasive rats, could help low-lying atolls adapt to rising seas. Food and Nutrition: An African food manifesto warns that dependence on imports and cheap ultra-processed foods can weaken food security and nutrition, and calls for stronger local food systems.
