A Galician wild horse grazes on a spiny gorse in the Serra da Groba, near Baiona, Galicia, Spain, on March 19, 2024. Fire prevention is one of several roles wild horses play in preserving the northwestern region of Galicia's delicate ecosystems, but Europe's largest herd of wild horses has dwindled to less than half the 22,000 that roamed its mountains, forests and heathlands in the 1970s. “Studies show that where wild horses graze the heath's biodiversity increases”, Laura Lagos, a researcher at the University of A Coruna said. “They are a fundamental part of the ecosystem. They benefit both the flora and the fauna associated with these open spaces”. (Photo by Nacho Doce/Reuters)

Galapagos giant tortoise is seen at Galapagos National Park in Galapagos Islands, Ecuador on February 11, 2025. Galapagos giant tortoises, believed to have arrived on the islands from the coasts of South America approximately 3 million years ago, are considered descendants of Argentine tortoises. They are among the island's most iconic species. These tortoises can grow up to 1.5 meters in length, weigh up to 300 kilograms, and live between 100 and 200 years. Like other species on the islands, they coexist harmoniously with humans due to their symbiotic relationship. The Cerro Colorado Turtle Reserve, established to protect giant tortoises from extinction, is located on San Cristobal Island. Covering approximately 5 acres, the reserve provides an environment where tortoises can roam freely. (Photo by Ozge Elif Kizil/Anadolu via Getty Images)
