Giant Tortoises in the Seychelles. // A landmark survey of the world’s largest free-roaming giant tortoise population has revealed the once endangered species is thriving. A population of Aldabra giant tortoise has lived on an island in the Seychelles called Aldabra Atoll. The most recent survey, led by the Seychelles Islands Foundation (SIF) and the University of Exeter, revealed that there are approximately 180,000 living on the island. This is the highest figure ever recorded for the species and far exceeds the human population of the Seychelles. The new figure was obtained by a team who analysed five years of tortoise counts collected between 2018 and 2022. It is the first update since the widely cited figure of 100,000 tortoises from the late 1990s. Aldabra Atoll is one of only two places in the world where giant tortoises can be found in the wild, with a much smaller population living in the Galapagos.
