AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoAldabra Conservation: A new survey estimates nearly 183,000 adult and young giant tortoises live on Aldabra, the largest recorded population. The 2018–22 count reflects improved methods, not a sudden doubling; the population was relatively stable during the study. Longevity Research: Scientists studying Jonathan, the Seychelles-born tortoise now living on St Helena, identified 287 gene variants linked to DNA repair, inflammation control and other processes associated with ageing. Atoll Resilience: Research across Indian and Pacific islands suggests restoring native vegetation and protecting seabirds could help atolls adapt to rising seas—findings relevant to Seychelles as climate risks grow. Technology Trade: The UK has added Seychelles to a licence covering certain controlled dual-use technologies, including some advanced IT, semiconductor and quantum-related items. Exporters still need to check whether specific goods qualify.
