AGP Executive Report
Last update: 7 hours agoAldabra Tortoises: A new survey estimates nearly 183,000 adult and sub-adult giant tortoises live on Aldabra, the largest recorded population. Researchers say numbers were relatively stable from 2018 to 2022; the higher figure than past estimates largely reflects improved counting. Climate change and invasive animals remain threats. Atoll Resilience: A study finds that restoring native vegetation and seabird populations could help atoll islands keep pace with rising seas. Rat removal and healthier reefs can support the plants, sediment and sand that help islands adapt. Regional Marine Protection: Seychelles joined nine countries backing Western Indian Ocean measures on plastic pollution, marine pollution response, seagrass and mangrove protection, and critical habitats at the Nairobi Convention’s COP12.
