BBC: Giant tortoises return to Galápagos island after nearly 200 years. “Giant tortoises are roaming the Galápagos island of Floreana for the first time in more than 180 years, in what conservationists have called a ‘hugely significant milestone’. The release of 158 captive-bred juvenile tortoises onto the island is part of the Floreana Ecological Restoration Project led by the Galápagos […]

More than 1,500 giant tortoises are back home in the Galápagos — and they're busy being the ultimate ecosystem engineers!
By simply walking, eating, and doing tortoise things, these gentle giants are tearing down invasive shrubs, spreading seeds up to 5km away, and restarting ecological processes that were broken for 150 years.
No heavy machinery, just slow, steady, solar-powered rewilding magic. The islands are coming back to life, one chomp at a time.
Conservation success stories like this give me so much hope

Madagascar: #GiantTortoises have returned 600 years after they were wiped out https://theconversation.com/madagascar-giant-tortoises-have-returned-600-years-after-they-were-wiped-out-221615

"A six-year-old project to return giant #tortoises to the wild in #Madagascar could result in thousands of the 350kg #megaherbivores re-populating the island for the first time in 600 years. The first group of Aldabra giant tortoises (Aldabrachelys gigantea) were brought in from the #Seychelles in 2018, and have been reproducing on their own since."
