Last update: 9 hours agoAldabra’s Conservation Comeback: A new survey estimates nearly 183,000 adult and young giant tortoises live on Aldabra Atoll—more than the Seychelles’ human population.

Separate research warns that climate change could shrink sperm whale habitat in the southwest Indian Ocean, strengthening calls for flexible, wide-ranging protection.
