AGP Executive Report
Last update: 10 hours agoClimate Readiness: Seychelles hosted regional training where meteorological teams from four Indian Ocean countries learned to use free software to organise weather and water records. Better access to rainfall, river and storm data can support forecasts and flood warnings. Conservation Legacy: Seychelles tourism pioneer Mickey Mason, who died aged 82, also championed conservation on Denis Island, linking hospitality with local food production, renewable energy and protection for rare birds. Aldabra Tortoises: A new survey estimates nearly 183,000 adult and sub-adult giant tortoises live on Aldabra—the largest recorded population. Researchers say the figure reflects improved counting as well as a conservation success; climate change and invasive species remain threats. Atoll Resilience: Research suggests restoring seabirds and native vegetation, while removing invasive rats, could help low-lying atolls adapt to rising seas. Seabird nutrients support reef and plant growth, which can help build and stabilise islands.
