Exercise 3
The
Galapagos Islands
Located near
the equator, the Galapagos Islands are a group of volcanic islands off the
coast of Ecuator. Discovered by Spanish colonists in 1535, and first shown
on maps in about 1570, the islands were rarely visited being a haven for
pirates having developed their own specializations and escaped the
attentions of predators common elsewhere, the Galapagos species had become
unique and unafraid of people. Passing ships hunted seals and giant tortoises. Once captured the tortoises were kept
alive on ships for long and later eaten. After facing near extinction,
few of these creatures remain today. Examined by the naturalist Charles
Darwin in 1835, the islands still have a close association with Darwinian
Theory, providing the home to many species isolated from the mainland. Realized
later that birds which differed from the islands to islands were in fact to
some species, Darwin used evidence from the Galapagos in the development of his
theory of natural selection. Now regarded as part of a national park,
the islands are popular with ‘’eco-tourists’’. Efforts are continuing to save
their wildlife.
