Opinion: Jonathan the 192-year-old tortoise could outlive me and you. His species deserves respect Today, tortoises are being rewilded and recognized for both their inherent worth and benefits to local ecosystems and economies

This was such an inspiring session. I jotted down so many notes, like this @drkendracoulter.bsky.social quote:
"Whether it's 30 seconds or 300 pages, never underestimate the power of story."
