|
Testudinidae Centrochelys Tomas Diagne’s Tortoise Village at Noflaye, Senegal, attracts tourists and volunteers from around the world keen to learn more about Senegal’s seven species of tortoise, including the biggest land tortoise in Africa, Geochelone sulcata. This famous animal, which can live for 150 years, was becoming more and more rare until Diagne, a major figure in African nature conservation, decided to save it.
