The World

Today we were looking for the island home of a giant tortoise named Lonesome George. The answer is La Pinta ? one of the Galapagos Islands. Lonesome George is thought to be the last of his kind of tortoise, but now there’s word he may soon be a father. Anchor Lisa Mullins gets the story from conservationist Linda Cayot.

Do you support journalism that strengthens our democracy?

At The World, we believe strongly that human-centered journalism is at the heart of an informed public and a strong democracy. We see democracy and journalism as two sides of the same coin. If you care about one, it is imperative to care about the other.

Every day, our nonprofit newsroom seeks to inform and empower listeners and hold the powerful accountable. Neither would be possible without the support of listeners like you. If you believe in our work, will you give today? We need your help now more than ever!
