Aldabra of the Seychelles in the Indian Ocean
Just a dozen humans currently reside on Aldabra, a remote island considered part of the Seychelles. They’re part of a scientific research project studying the island’s unique ecosystem. Aldabra is the second largest coral atoll on Earth and its isolated position in the Indian Ocean means the island habitat has developed with little human influence. It’s also home to a growing population of Aldabra giant tortoises, once hunted to near extinction.
