Interview with OCEANOS Instructor María Fernanda Barbarena-Arias

Galapagos tortoise thought extinct for 100 years has been found alive: Biologists found the tortoise, dubbed Fernanda, on the westernmost island in the archipelago in 2019. She is the second-ever tortoise discovered on the island after a single male was collected there in 1906.

‘Extinct’ Giant Tortoise Was Just Chilling on an Island. A DNA analysis of a tortoise named Fernanda confirms she is closely related to an animal last spotted in the wild in 1906.
