Hello - or as Lonesome George might say when he greets his friends - Hola!

Thank you for joining the Galapagos Conservation Trust's Tortoise Club.

The Galapagos Islands are unique - this means that there are no other islands in the world like the Galapagos. We must all help to keep the Galapagos plants, animals and birds safe from pollution and other creatures which could harm them.

By becoming a member of the Tortoise Club you, your classmates and your school are all playing a very important part in the conservation of the Galapagos Islands.

HOW ABOUT TRYING THIS ... Why not read Roald Dahl's 'Esio Trot' to your class? The story of Esio Trot (or tortoise spelled backwards) is all about Mr. Hoppy's love for his neighbour, Mrs. Silver. But Mrs. Silver only has eyes for Alfie, her pet tortoise. Mr. Hoppy thinks of a plan to win Mrs. Silver's affections.
