EDITORS COMMENTS
Captured in a serene moment of tranquility, this stunning photograph by Tui De Roy showcases the majestic Alcedo giant tortoise (Chelonoidis vandenburghi) as it quenches its thirst from a rocky outcropping on Isabela Island, Galapagos. The Alcedo Volcano looms majestically in the background, providing a dramatic backdrop for this iconic species.
As one of the most endangered tortoise species in the world, the Alcedo giant tortoise is found only on Isabela and Fernandina Islands in the Galapagos archipelago. With its distinctive dome-shaped shell and gentle demeanor, this incredible creature has fascinated scientists and photographers alike.
This image not only highlights the breathtaking beauty of these islands but also underscores their importance as a biodiversity hotspot. As part of Galapagos National Park and UNESCO World Heritage Site, conservation efforts are underway to protect these unique ecosystems and their inhabitants.
Take a moment to appreciate the serenity of this scene and remember that our actions can make a difference in preserving these incredible creatures' habitats for generations to come.
