Why are galapagos tortoise endangered?
The Galapagos archipelago, a remote group of Islands belonging to Ecuador, consists of many small volcanic islands and many of these have their own indigenous species of tortoises. For example, tortoises from Isabela Island are distinct to the tortoises from Santa Cruz. They are all 'giant' tortoises though. The rarest of all is the Pinta Island Tortoise, with only one known survivor, Lonesome George. There are many threats to the Galapagos tortoises and three main ones are: 1) Indigenous populations and fishermen eating the tortoises. 2) Species that are non-native to the islands being introduced. This is especially true of goats and pigs which bred in huge numbers on the islands, destroying the food and environment vital for the native tortoises. 3) Tourism: there is a growth in eco-tourism to the Galapagos, many wanting to see the giant tortoises. Unfortunately this rapid growth in tourism can lead to grazing land being destroyed and wild torts becoming even scarcer.
