Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: 2022 Eureka! Nonfiction Honor Book – California Reading Association Kirkus Best Indies Book List - 2022 Starred Kirkus Review: “This well-crafted success story of a species’ salvation will encourage budding environmentalists.” “A worthwhile addition to Pattison’s Another Extraordinary Animal series.” Booklist Can humans save a species from extinction? Yes! With patience, persistence, and a full dose of hope. This is the heartbreaking tale of a Galápagos giant tortoise species that was almost extinct, the herculean task of conservation work by scientists and volunteers, and a heartwarming tale of hope for our planet. In 1959, Ecuador established a national park to protect the Galápagos Islands. When they did a census, scientists found only 14 individual Española Island tortoises. The species was almost extinct. Then, they found one more Española tortoise—in the San Diego Zoo! They named him Diego and brought him back to the Galápagos for a breeding program. Ecuador established one of the most successful breeding programs in scientific history. For sixty years, scientists and hundreds of volunteers have fought valiantly to save this amazing giant tortoise species. Would it be enough? Would they be able to save the species? Read the amazing story of Diego, the giant Galápagos tortoise. Conservation is a numbers game. Each time a tortoise census is counted, it is presented in a larger font to emphasize its importance.
