there are different species of giant tortoises on each island. their population started to decrease ever since man inhabited this place, even to the point that some of them are already extinct. in san crsitobal for example, there were several thousands of them many years ago, and now there are 6000 men living on the island and only 1000 turtles. luckily nowadays the conservation centers through out the galapagos have preservation and reproduction programs to help the species grow again.
