AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Wildlife & Conservation: Jonathan the Seychelles giant tortoise has been reaffirmed by Guinness World Records as the world’s oldest living land animal at 194 years, living on St Helena and now also named a Guinness World Records Icon—an unlikely global spotlight on island biodiversity and long-term protection. Biodiversity in Seychelles: A new feature highlights Praslin’s Vallée de Mai Nature Reserve as a living web of rare species found nowhere else, including the black parrot and endemic reptiles—reminding visitors why World Heritage status must mean real protection. Local Environment Action: The Seychelles Challenge and Outward Bounds Association ran clean-ups across five of Mahé’s popular nature trails, removing waste and helping keep key outdoor routes welcoming and safer for wildlife. Climate & Resilience Support: The EU announced a climate displacement resilience programme that includes Seychelles, alongside Madagascar, Mauritius, Comoros and Mozambique, with early warning and preparedness ahead of El Niño impacts. Marine Health Research: Scientists at Kenya’s Our Ocean Conference mapped potentially climate-resilient coral reefs worldwide, offering hope for targeted reef protection as heat stress continues. Hazardous Chemicals Capacity: Seychelles strengthened national ability to identify and manage trade in hazardous chemicals through UNDP-supported training under a GEF-funded regional project. Environmental Risk Watch: A report urges UNESCO to address concerns over a Qatari-funded ultra-luxury hotel development on Assomption Island near Aldabra, warning of institutional failure and threats to a UNESCO World Heritage ecosystem.
