Giant tortoises in Seychelles face threat from luxury hotel development
Briefly

The habitat of the largest giant tortoise population is under threat from a luxury hotel development. Conservationists warn against hasty construction, urging for independent risk scrutiny.
While the developers promise world-class sustainability practices, many wildlife organizations argue that the project lacks a thorough analysis of the potential dangers to island fauna.
Aldabra is considered a global conservation jewel, primarily due to its thriving population of 150,000 giant tortoises, which could be impacted by nearby developments.
The planned upscale resort aims to attract luxury tourism, yet conservationists highlight the urgent need for environmental assessments to protect these unique ecosystems.
