Diego

This is the heartbreaking tale of a Galápagos giant tortoise species that was almost extinct, the huge task of conservation work by scientists and volunteers, and a tale of hope for our planet. In 1959, Ecuador established a national park to protect the Galápagos Islands. When they did a census, scientists found only 14 individual Española Island tortoises. The species was almost extinct. Then, they found one more Española tortoise—in the San Diego Zoo! Could they save the species?
