Lonesome George: The Heartbreaking End of a Species
Imagine being the last of your kind. This was the tragic fate of Lonesome George, the last known Pinta Island tortoise, who lived his final years in complete solitude on the Galápagos Islands. In this video, we explore the life and legacy of Lonesome George, the devastating impact of invasive species like goats on his habitat, and how human activity drove his species to extinction.
George was discovered in 1971, the lone survivor of a species once abundant on Pinta Island. Despite decades of conservation efforts to find a mate and save his kind, he lived alone for 40 years, becoming a symbol of lost biodiversity. When Lonesome George passed away in 2012, an entire species was lost with him.
Join us as we journey through George's life, the environmental challenges that led to his demise, and the lessons we must learn to protect endangered species today.
