Those caged tortoises are part of the breeding programs - they are all babies. There are many tortoise preserves, which are captive tortoises, but they release many to the wind also. It's kind of strange, but the tortoise population has increased a lot since the programs began. That's what the interpretive centres told us, anyway.
