Galápagos Tortoise Breeding Program Saves Critically Endangered Species
A century-long decline of the Hood Island giant tortoise (Chelonoidis niger hoodensis) on Española Island, caused by whaling and introduced goats, was reversed by a captive breeding program initiated in 1976, resulting in the release of over 2,300 tortoises by 2020, creating a self-sustaining popula...
