📚 DARWIN's GALAPGOAS
We can now begin our tale.
Darwin's great-great-granddaughter Sarah was invited to the Galapagos Islands recently. A ceremony was held for a marine reserve expansion there. More and more attention has been paid to environmental health since the COP26. Global warming makes animals and plants more vulnerable , eventually resulting in an increase in endangered species.

Therefore, more action is being taken. Known for its incredible diversity of creatures, the Ecuadorian government expanded the marine reserve around the Galapagos Islands by 45 percent. It'll help protect whale sharks, turtles, tuna, and other threatened and essential species there.
