STORYLINE:
THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE ARE HARMING ONE OF THE MOST BIODIVERSE PLACES ON EARTH: THE GALAPAGOS ISLANDS.
 
THE SURROUNDING WATERS NORMALLY TEEM WITH LIFE — WHALE SHARKS PASS SCHOOLS OF FISH AND SEA TURTLES GLIDE BY COLORFUL CORAL.
 
BUT NOW, RISING OCEAN TEMPERATURES MEAN FOOD SOURCES FOR SOME MARINE LIFE ARE DWINDLING, INCLUDING FOR SOME SPECIES FOUND NOWHERE ELSE IN THE WORLD, LIKE THE GALAPAGOS PENGUIN.

INVASIVE SPECIES HAVE ADDED TO CONSERVATIONISTS’ CONCERNS. THEY’RE A PARTICULAR THREAT TO THE ISLANDS’ GIANT TORTOISES.

SOUNDBITE (English) Natasha Cabezas, naturalist guide:
"We have a problem with cats, dogs. We used to have problems with goats, pigs. Everything we brought in was a problem.”

STUDIES HAVE SHOWN POPULATION DECLINES AMONG SOME OF THE ISLANDS’ UNIQUE SPECIES IN PART DUE TO THE EFFECTS OF CLIMATE CHANGE.

SOUNDBITE (English) Fernando Herrero, naturalist guide:
"I have seen changes. Animals who disappears, species who disappears, or we see a lot less and another species will have a better adaptation and now you see more.”
