Climate Threatens Galapagos Islands Ecosystem
News summary

The Galapagos Islands are facing increased ecological pressure from climate change and invasive species. The 2021 collapse of Darwin's Arch due to natural erosion highlighted the fragility of this unique ecosystem. Warming oceans are disrupting food sources for many species, including marine iguanas and sea turtles, which are struggling to adapt. The archipelago, located at the convergence of significant ocean currents, has always been sensitive to temperature changes, but human-caused climate change is exacerbating these challenges. The last decade has been the warmest for oceans since at least the 1800s, with 2023 setting a new record. Despite the diversity of species, their populations are limited, making conservation efforts critical.
