Actor Richard Gere, whose credits include the motion picture The Mothman Prophecies, has offered to act as spokesperson for Galapagos Islands conservation efforts. In this report by Loren Coleman, a vacation trip to the islands by Gere and his family include a snapshot of Gere with the last remaining member of a Galapagos giant tortoise subspecies, nicknamed Lonesome George (Solitario Jorge in Spanish). Is there hope Lonesome George can help revive a subspecies of which he is believed to be the last remaining member? Meanwile, there are photographs of a New Ray Discovered and a recently reported New Mouse.
