Ecuador: stuffed body of “Solitario Jorge” will not be taken to the Galapagos

The embalmed body of the giant tortoise known as “Lonely Jorge” and emblem of the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador, will remain in a museum in Quito, the Ministry of the Environment of this country published this Monday.

“We do not disagree with the local and national community that we consider that the best place for the Solitaire to remain is its own home, but as those responsible for the care of this species, at least for now this cannot be the case,” Lorena Tapia said in a statement. , Minister of the Environment.
