🐢 Giant tortoises are back on Floreana Island for the first time in more than a century.⁣ ⁣ Ecuador has reintroduced 158 tortoises to the Galapagos island, where the native species was driven to extinction in the 1800s.⁣ ⁣ Rangers carried the animals across volcanic terrain before releasing them into the wild. Each tortoise was microchipped and quarantined before the journey.⁣ ⁣ Officials say the species plays a crucial role in restoring the island’s ecosystem.⁣ ⁣ #Galapagos #Ecuador #Wildlife #Conservation #Environment
