Correction Galapagos Extinct Turtle story. QUITO, Ecuador AP In a story Sept. Galapagos Islands, The Associated Press misidentified the name of the island where some tortoises still have genetic traces of the Chelonoidis elephantopus. It is Isabela Island, not Isabel Island. A corrected version of the story is below Scientists hope to restore extinct Galapagos tortoise. Scientists in Ecuadors Galapagos islands are hoping to restore a tortoise species believed to have been hunted into extinction on Floreana Island in the 1. QUITO, Ecuador AP Scientists in Ecuadors Galapagos islands are hoping to restore a tortoise species believed extinct since the 1. The Chelonoidis elephantopus lived on Floreana Island and was captured by seamen in large numbers for food during long journeys across the Pacific. The species is thought to have disappeared shortly after Charles Darwins celebrated visit to the treasured archipelago. But a group of international scientists who collected 1,7. Focusing on the notoriously aggressive orca Tilikum, this gripping film presents a persuasive case against keeping the species and by extension any wild animal.

While director Ridley Scott is currently hard at work putting together all of the pieces to make The Martian, his next scifi thriller starring Matt Damon, that doesn. Isabela Island farther north during a research expedition in 2. This is a species that was considered extinct for 1. Washington Tapia, one of the scientists studying the tortoises, told The Associated Press. We didnt imagine what we would find. Researchers with the Galapagos Conservancy and the Galapagos National Park are now trying to restore the species by selecting 2. Floreana tortoise in its DNA to reproduce. We are not going to have a perfect species, genetically 1. Floreana, said Linda Cayot, a scientific consultant with the Galapagos Conservancy. But we will have a tortoise population with many of the same genes as the original. Scientists believe sailors who caught Floreana tortoises for food sometimes dropped them off on Isabela Island in order to lighten a ships load before crossing the ocean. Isabela Island was typically the last stop before setting sail. The scientists traveling to Isabela Island five years ago didnt originally set out to research the Floreana species and were surprised when their samples revealed such high quantities of the extinct tortoises DNA. The 2. 0 tortoises identified as having the highest amounts of Floreana DNA have been placed in corrals containing three females and two males each in hopes of one day repopulating the island with close copies of the extinct species. We hear about extinctions and the damage humans can cause a species, said Ecuadorean Minister for the Environment Tarsicio Granizo. But today, with the results of this investigation, we can tell the world that it is possible to reverse negative effects on the environment. We are going to recover an extinct species. Jaime Chaves, an evolutionary biology professor at San Francisco University in Quito, described the study as an important example of how advancements in molecular science can potentially help reintroduce a bygone species.

Its very exciting to witness the reach of these genetic studies, identifying individuals with the potential to be a starting point for the recovery of a unique lineage believed extinct, he said.
