For the first time since 1939 there are naturally born baby tortoises on the Galapagos Islands. Exotic rats have destroyed almost every nest for the past 100 years. A massive conservation effort eliminated all the rats. Now, we finally babies. Things are looking up.

In light of @benham_char talk on optimism in conservation, I thought I’d share some good news happening in conservation. Charlotte mentioned that the European bison populations are RECOVERING, and will be introduced to the U.K. in 2022!! Share your good news more!#SciCommference

[Charlotte Benham @benham_char]
