In 2026, 158 young giant tortoises with Floreana ancestry, bred through a decades-long conservation program, were released on Floreana Island in the Galápagos, marking a major step in restoring a species extinct in the wild since the 19th century.
The effort, supported by NASA’s satellite data, used environmental mapping to identify optimal release sites, following invasive species eradication that improved habitat conditions.
The tortoises, vital for ecosystem health, are expected to help restore native vegetation and support biodiversity.
