EDITORS COMMENTS
Meet the majestic Alcedo giant tortoise, a gentle giant that roams the volcanic landscapes of Isabela Island in the Galapagos. This stunning photograph by Tui De Roy captures the serenity and tranquility of this incredible creature as it rests its weary head on its powerful claws. The Alcedo giant tortoise is one of the largest species of tortoise in the world, with some individuals reaching up to 1.8 meters in length and weighing over 400 kilograms.
As an endangered species, these magnificent creatures are found only on Isabela Island and are protected within Galapagos National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The Galapagos Islands are considered a biodiversity hotspot, home to an incredible array of unique and endemic species that have evolved over millions of years.
This photograph not only showcases the beauty and majesty of this incredible animal but also highlights the importance of conservation efforts to protect these vulnerable creatures and their habitats. By supporting conservation initiatives and responsible tourism practices, we can help ensure that future generations can continue to marvel at these natural wonders.
