Nature is finally healing in the Galápagos! After 180 years of absence, giant tortoises are once again roaming Floreana Island.
​This isn't just a win for the tortoises; it's a massive victory for the entire ecosystem. As ecosystem engineers, these 158 juveniles will help reshape the landscape, disperse seeds, and pave the way for other species to thrive. A huge shoutout to the scientists and the local community who spent decades making this "extinction reversal" a reality.
