Lonesome George

If someday, you find yourself in island of Pinta in the Galapagos and you come across a giant tortoise, you can confidently call him George!

How come? Well, sadly, he’s the last remaining of a species, once wandering around in the island in huge numbers. This 88 years old turtle is condemn living his long life in total loneliness and his death will put an end, not only to his life, but to a million-years- reach history of his race.

Where the ever-increasing catastrophic story of extinction is being retold every minute on this planet, the rather long life of this adorable creature, will keep us, humans, ashamed for years to come. A burning candle, symbolic of a planet in decay, a constant reminder of the earth, becoming more and more a Dorian Gray-ish! picture of our nice looking civilization!

We’re sorry Lonesome George, This planet was yours too and We will miss you.
