Aldabra
Aldabra is the world's second largest coral atoll. It is situated in the Aldabra Group of islands in the Indian Ocean that are part of the Outer Islands of the Seychelles. Uninhabited and extremely isolated, Aldabra is virtually untouched by humans. It has distinctive island fauna including the Aldabra Giant Tortoise. It consists of four islets around a large shallow lagoon, encircled by fringing coral reef. The atoll reflects both fossil and geomorphological features, the former is the source of the live biodiversity. The atoll has about two thirds of the world population of Giant tortoises, about 100,000 out of a reported 150,000. Sir David Attenborough called the south western atoll of Aldabra as "one of the wonders of the world", and it is also known as one of “Crown Jewels of our Ocean” in the Indian Ocean. Aside from its vast population of tortoises, it is also the largest raised coral reef in the world with an elevation of 26 feet; the second largest atoll in the world after Kiritimati Atoll; a habitat for the biggest crab, the coconut crab; and habitat for the Indian Ocean’s Aldabra rail, the only surviving flightless bird species of its kind in the world.

Examples of aldabra in a Sentence
Only on Aldabra, which has the oldest palaeontological record of any oceanic island within the Indian Ocean region, is fossil evidence available that demonstrates the effects of changing sea levels on extinction and recolonization events, conditions were such on Aldabra, the most important being the absence of terrestrial predators and competing mammals, that a rail was able to evolve flightlessness independently on each occasion.
