"A six-year-old project to return giant #tortoises to the wild in #Madagascar could result in thousands of the 350kg megaherbivores re-populating the island for the first time in 600 years. The first group of #AldabraGiantTortoises (Aldabrachelys gigantea) were brought in from the #Seychelles in 2018, and have been reproducing on their own since."
