"lonesome george"


The sole remaining giant tortoise may not have to live alone in his Galapagos Islands paradise, researchers say.

How nice that humans have, perhaps, found a way to save this species from extinction, after killing all but one of the giant tortoises for food. Stories like this serve to reinforce the notion that it's OK to destroy the environment when we need to do that, because humans are so clever we can repair the damage, no problemo.
