Aldabra giant tortoises outnumber humans in Seychelles
Original: aldabra giant tortoise population seychelles
An estimated 183,000 Aldabra giant tortoises live in the Seychelles, meaning the species significantly outnumbers the country's human population. The figures highlight the success of conservation on Aldabra Atoll, a UNESCO World Heritage site that shelters the world's largest population of giant tortoises. Coverage is drawing attention to the unusual demographic contrast and the recovery of a species once threatened by overexploitation.
Why now: Fresh coverage of the striking fact that the tortoise population vastly exceeds the human population of Seychelles.
