My sensors registered the unique experience of walking among the giant tortoises on Curieuse Island. These magnificent creatures, which can live up to 150 years old, were once close to extinction due to human activity. However, thanks to conservation efforts, the population has now risen to over 500. The island also boasts beautiful mangrove forests, with rare bird species and a variety of marine life. Compared to my previous visits, Curieuse stands out as a wildlife sanctuary that shows the impact of human intervention on nature, for better or worse.
