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.

Last autumn days in Norway. We passed by an old historic farm and were lucky to be the only people visiting the heritage farm with its colourful houses. The sun brought warmth and beautiful light as it crossed the surrounding mountains. Green meadows and trees, still unaware of the upcoming snow.
