Since the discovery of the Gal\u00e1pagos Islands in 1535, approximately 1,639 introduced species have been recorded, including plants, invertebrates, vertebrates, fungi, viruses, and bacteria.<\/span><\/p>\n

Among the first introduced species were the black rat (<\/span>Rattus rattus<\/span><\/i>) and the house mouse (<\/span>Mus musculus<\/span><\/i>). <\/span><\/p>\n

The arrival of almost all non-native species is closely tied to human activity, whether intentional or accidental. <\/span><\/p>\n

Introduced species have made their way to the islands through various means: on fruits and vegetables, boats, planes, or inside luggage. <\/span><\/p>[\/et_pb_text][\/et_pb_column][et_pb_column type=”2_5″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_image src=”https:\/\/galaxy.travel\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/10\/silvester-animal.jpg” title_text=”silvester-animal” _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” width=”99%” max_width=”100%” module_alignment=”right” global_colors_info=”{}”][\/et_pb_image][\/et_pb_column][\/et_pb_row][\/et_pb_section][et_pb_section fb_built=”1″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” custom_margin=”-118px||||false|false” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_row _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_column type=”4_4″ _builder_version=”4.27.0″ _module_preset=”default” global_colors_info=”{}”][et_pb_text content_tablet=”

                              One of the most effective efforts to control invasive species was the Isabela Project, <\/span>which targeted eradicating goats on several islands, including Santiago, Pinta, and <\/span>Isabela.<\/span><\/p>\n

This allowed conservationists to track and eradicate thousands of goats <\/span>effectively.
