Launch of the Aldabra Giant Tortoise Census
The Ministry of Environment and the Indian Ocean Tortoise Alliance (IOTA) have signed an agreement to continue to register all Aldabra giant tortoises in the country. The purpose of this agreement is to reinforce the relations between the two organisations, assist each other in research and the preservation of Aldabra giant tortoises, obtain funding, and where necessary protect the giant tortoises. All of the tortoises in the country will be microchipped to make it easier to retrieve information and to help protect them.
