epa08118190 Handout picture provided by the Galapagos National Park that shows Diego, the giant tortoise of the Espanola Island that lived in USA and that after returning to the archipelago helped to save its species by procreating 800 turtles, in Galapagos, Ecuador, 09 January 2020 (Issued 10 January 2020). Diego, the giant tortoise of the Espanola Island that lived in USA will return to its habitat this year, where pirates decimated the population of these animals several decades ago. Its return, planned for next March, derives from the closure of the captive breeding program of the Chelonoidis hoodensis species, once the recovery of habitat and turtle population conditions in Espanola Island has been verified.
