Scientists have found an estimated 180,000 giant tortoises living on a single island in the Seychelles, a far larger population than previously known. Researchers say the discovery makes the archipelago one of the most important strongholds for these long-lived reptiles, and the finding is drawing wide attention among conservationists and wildlife watchers.
Why now: A remarkably large, previously uncounted population of an iconic endangered species is genuinely surprising conservation news.
