Let's protect Galápagos Island from invasivo species by https://padlet.com/fatimagualotoh/36rbf99rryo8q5l2 The Padlet will focus on invasive species in the Galápagos Islands and their impact on biodiversity it will showcare examples like rats, goats, dogs, explaining how they affect the ecosystems. Additionally it will include daa, images and actions to prevent their spread, promoting conservation and responsible tourism in the archipelago. en-us 2025-03-28 00:13:46 UTC 2025-04-01 17:04:22 UTC hello@padlet.com https://padlet.net/icons/png/1f4bb.png fatimagualotoh https://padlet.com/fatimagualotoh/36rbf99rryo8q5l2/wish/3385782620

Their presence is linked to population growth, tourism, and maritime and air transport, driven by islanders' demand for resources. The main invasive species are pigs, goats, and chickens brought in for food, species such as domestic dogs and cats brought in for company, and many ornamental plants introduced to create gardens.

On other islands, Rivas points out, it's possible to see how controlling invasive rats is helping bird populations recover.

However, feral domestic animal populations on the islands also threaten biodiversity, especially cats due to their adaptability and hunting instinct.

I've seen them in very remote parts of the archipelago, in northwest Isabela, eating fish left behind by sea lions, attacking lizards and iguanas, and hunting in mangrove trees on remote islands. They can survive on little food for long periods of time and are elusive, difficult to control,” he says.

This technology saved time and resources, serving the fauna and flora of this important biodiversity refuge.

Our final message is to understand the importance of the biodiversity of flora and fauna, respect it and help conserve it, since apart from being living beings that deserve to live in optimal conditions, they are the representation of our region.
