The #Seychelles is full of prehistoric wonders. Spotted these Aldabra giant #tortoises (Aldabrachelys gigantea) ensuring the next generation of their species. Truly humbling to watch these ancient #animals in their natural habitat. 🇸🇨

Paradoxe Gedanken (4.Teil)
Wale, Schildkröten und Delfine verenden,
weil sie sich dem Müll im Meer zuwenden.
Haben sonst nichts,
denn der Mensch hat bald auch schon den letzten Fisch erwischt.Du denkst, was interessiert es mich,
ich hab eh kein Gewicht.
Selbst wenn ich mich für die Natur einsetzte,
landen noch viele Tiere im Netze.
Jeden Tag wird Raubbau betrieben,
Schweine geschlachtet, Elefanten vertrieben. -

What 70 Celebrity Tortoises Can Teach Us About Conservation Stories
https://therevelator.org/celebrity-tortoises/"Last November #conservationists carefully carried 70 young, critically #endangered #Mojave #DesertTortoises to the #reptiles’ natural habitat on Edwards Air Force Base... six months later, this past April, news of their fate came out: The #tortoises had emerged from their burrows healthier and stronger than ever, a notable milestone in the ongoing #tortoise #conservation story."

Hello everyone
Total newbie to #mastodon ! My first post is not a Mastodon, but a herd of elephants I encountered recently on the Masai Mara plains. I’ve worked with the Loita Masai for some decades and as a scientist in the UK, Asia & Africa. I also have interests in #wildlife #environment #science #biology #ecology #plants #herpetology #reptiles #tortoises #rhinos #conservation #readingtip #books #comiccon #scifi #marvel #history & generally trying to make this world a kinder, happier place.
