📚 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.
