Conservación de la tortuga gigante

Conservación de la tortuga gigante refers to efforts aimed at protecting giant tortoises, particularly species like the Galápagos tortoise, which are endangered due to habitat loss, poaching, and introduced species. Conservation initiatives include habitat restoration, breeding programs, and public education to raise awareness about their ecological importance. These tortoises play a crucial role in their ecosystems by helping to maintain vegetation balance. Protecting them not only preserves biodiversity but also supports the health of their habitats, ensuring future generations can enjoy these remarkable creatures.
