Goodbye to a Conservation Icon: Lonesome George

The Galapagos National Park has announced the sad death of Lonesome George on 24 June, 2012

The Save Galapagos Trust do amazing work. I know. I've been there, met them.  Have a look.  http://www.savegalapagos.org/

This is Lonesome George, A giant tortoise, the last of his sub-species. I was lucky enough to see him.
Here are some other of the incredible creatures I saw while visiting many of the Galapagos islands.
