I always thought of the Galapagos Island as a far away retreat. An island unspoiled and virginal. Just read about 4-5 weeks ago, that the Chinese have taken it upon themselves to fish right off the island shore. That really hurts the local fishermen that go out in their rowboat, whereas the Chinese are there with a huge fishing ships! It's sad that this little piece of heaven is now getting spoiled... breaks my heart. 💔

@bumpedhishead636 3 жыл бұрын

IMHO, both the Chinese AND the "local fishermen" should get the hell off that island. We have a whole planet to live on, can't we give the tortoises a couple of tiny islands of their own? Why do humans have to live EVERYWHERE??

@Newt2799 2 жыл бұрын

@Clarence Kayser Eh well the tracking devices help give them information about where they’re going and, if the die, they can investigate how and where the death happened. These tortoises lived in isolation, and now that humans introduced other invasive species, they’re being outcompeted. So really all the information they can get to help the tortoises is going to be useful because they’re not going to survive well without human intervention at this point.

Beautiful tortoises and hatchlings. So much of the islands have been built for tourists. I seen a picture of part of the island with settlements built all over, maybe even with families. Children often get curious and explore-bad idea about the homes there..I don't understand why the government there is allowing this. The islands should be kept as pristine as possible so I hope the Galapagos islands are given much more respect that the rainforests of South America..

Funny to see the babies move around like maniacs. My Tortoise also gets a lot more active outside, even though it's not that hot where I live (I have a Russian Tortoise, so they're more resistent to colder temperatures, unlike for example a Galapagos Tortoise would). I think it's terribly cruel to let a creature that may live well over 70-80 years live in an inside enclosure with artifical walls and very limited space for its entire life.
