The last representative of the giant tortoise subspecies, he was a symbol of biodiversity loss, but his legacy is felt in the work to restore Galápagos habitats

Adieu George, adieu.

Good on the ol' boy, he lasted 100 years, longer than most humans

But I think they might've got that wrong though. Looking at this pic

I think there might still be more of his subspecies remaining
