Postcard from Madagascar: In Pursuit of the Plowshare Tortoise
This week’s issue features William Finnegan’s piece about a Manhattan night-life baron’s race to save the world’s rarest species of tortoise: the angonoka, or plowshare tortoise, which is coveted by collectors on the illegal market. We sent the South Africa-based photographer Jonathan Torgovnik to Madagascar, home of the last remaining habitat for these animals, to capture that night-life baron, Eric Goode, in the field with the tortoises he has committed himself to protect.

Haiiii. I'm Lauren. I like glitter & anything that sparkles. :) Aaaaand, i also like horsies. Photography is my life, because there's really not much else to entertain yourself with here in Long Beach. My friends mean the world to me & i honestly don't know what I would do without them. :]
