Warming oceans, feral animals, and microplastics are threatening the Galapagos Islands
Briefly

The 2021 collapse of Darwin's Arch underscored the fragility of the Galapagos due to climate change and invasive species, impacting endemic species like marine iguanas and sea turtles.
The Galapagos face challenges such as warming oceans affecting the food sources of seagoing animals, difficulty for marine iguanas and sea turtles due to changing temperatures, and limited numbers of diverse species.
Ocean temperatures in the Galapagos have been rising due to human-caused climate change, impacting the region's sensitive ecosystem and unique species.
Changes in ocean temperatures, influenced by major currents and El Nino events, pose threats to the delicate balance of the Galapagos ecosystem, leading to challenges for various species.
