Aldabra Atoll, a UNESCO World Heritage site in Seychelles, is a pristine coral atoll renowned for its exceptional biodiversity. It hosts one of the world’s largest populations of giant tortoises, thriving in a largely untouched ecosystem of mangrove forests, lagoons, and seagrass beds. The atoll’s isolation has preserved its unique flora and fauna, including rare birds like the Aldabra rail and vibrant marine life such as turtles and reef fish. Its scientific significance and natural beauty make it a critical site for conservation and research.
