We' ve got some tortoises poo there. That' s decomposing, and out of it we' ve got lots of seeds of young ebonies. Well, that' s encouraging germination of the native plants. What' s interesting is that before we were seeing very little germination, and yet the tortoises spread the seeds around the island and they enhanced the germination. Karl' s experiment has paid off spectacularly. It' s working absolutely perfectly, and, you know, we always thought it would work, but we never thought it would work quite so well. You must be relieved. We' re not only relieved, but we' ve actually now found the answer to managing a lot of the vegetation. Without tortoises there' s a whole suite of plants that would just become extinct. What do you think of that, isn' t that wonderful? It' s gorgeous. This is what it would have looked like when there were dodo' s here. The dodo may have gone, but the ebony forests that were once its home are fighting back. This is absolutely spectacular. And it' s the museum' s remarkable discoveries that provided part of the solution to saving this ancient paradise. |
