Owning a Galapagos tortoise is generally not possible for private individuals due to their protected status under international and national laws, as they are considered vulnerable or endangered species. These tortoises are primarily kept in conservation programs, zoos, or research facilities that are equipped to care for them and contribute to their preservation. If you are interested in owning a tortoise, you might consider other species that are more commonly available and legally permitted as pets.
