Lonesome George, the last known individual of the Pinta Island Tortoise, subspecies Geochelone nigra abingdoni, one of the eleven subspecies of Galapagos tortoise, is pictured at Galapagos National Park's breeding center in Puerto Ayora, Santa Cruz island, Galapagos on March 18, 2009. The "Fausto Llerena" breeding center started in 1976 and now counts with 840 giant tortoises. The process starts with the egg-laying and the tortoises are monitored until they are three years old, when they are put a chip and taken back to their natural habitat.
