The Galápagos Islands, a remote archipelago known for its unique biodiversity, are facing increasing pressures from climate change and invasive species. The recent collapse of Darwin's Arch, a natural rock formation named after Charles Darwin, highlighted the fragility of this ecosystem.
Warming oceans are disrupting the food sources of many marine species in the Galápagos. Endemic species like marine iguanas and sea turtles are struggling to find their preferred food due to changing ocean temperatures. The impact of El Niño events further exacerbates food shortages for these species.
