Tracking Tortoises

Galapagos giant tortoises are fascinating-and endangered. They live only on the Galapagos Islands, a chain of volcanic islands in the Pacific Ocean off the coast of Ecuador. These tortoises face threats from the humans who live on-and visit-the islands, as well as from Earth's warming climate. Join author Kate Messner on an a journey to the Galapagos Islands to see these incredible creatures up close and discover how cutting-edge technology is helping scientists to study and protect them.
