The Galapagos Turtles are not actually endangered. They are just vunerable. They used to be endangered when the introduction of predators, grazers by humans, and hunter caused their populations fell. In 1946, the Euadorian government listed them a protected species. In 1970 it was illegal to export the tortoises. In 1971, it was illegal to in any way affect a natural object in the National Park.

'Why is the galapagos tortoise endangered'?
The Galapagos tortoise is endangered because people eat the eggs they lay and the adult tortoises are hunted for their big shells. Also, the pollution of the Galapagos islands is hurting the Galapagos tortoise as well. Actually, this species is not endangered, but considered "Vulnerable". Strictly protected by law, they are no longer hunted, and their numbers are again increasing. Ten of fifteen subspecies still survive there, and captive born hatchlings are released each year. The islands there are not under any current threat from pollution.
