Life in the Galapagos Islands reborn after the COVID-19 quarantine<\/strong>; The census of\u00a0penguins<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0flightless cormorants<\/strong>\u00a0of Galapagos, carried out in recent days by the Galapagos National Park<\/a> and the Charles Darwin Foundation<\/a>, has\u00a0shown an increase in the population<\/strong>\u00a0of these birds in the archipelago.<\/p>\n

RECORD NUMBERS IN THE ARCHIPELAGO<\/h2>\n

Cormorants had a record number, according to\u00a0historical records<\/strong>\u00a0that exist since 1977, while penguins showed their highest number since 2006.<\/p>\n

The estimation of the data collected during the census, based on the methodology applied more than a decade ago, reports that there are\u00a02,290 flightless cormorants<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a01940 penguins<\/strong>\u00a0in the main colonies located on the\u00a0Isabela<\/strong>\u00a0and\u00a0Fernandina<\/strong>\u00a0Islands and\u00a0Mariela\u2019s Islands<\/strong>, in the west. from\u00a0the Galapagos archipelago.<\/strong><\/p>\n

ADULT SPECIMENS TO PRESERVE THE SPECIES<\/h2>\n

One of the most relevant results that this census has left was that\u00a086% of the individuals recorded were adults<\/strong>, both the flightless cormorant and the Galapagos penguin.<\/p>\n

This means that there are specimens with\u00a0high \u201creproductive potential\u201d<\/strong>\u00a0and mainly that they enjoy\u00a0good health<\/strong>, which contributes to the preservation of\u00a0endemic species.<\/strong><\/p>\n

GNPD technicians consider that the presence of the natural event \u201cLa Ni\u00f1a\u201d, characterized by the abnormal cooling of the waters of the Tropical Pacific, which produces a greater outcrop of food, adds to the\u00a0absence of disturbances in the nesting areas<\/strong>\u00a0of these species due to paralysis. of tourist activities during the COVID-19 quarantine,\u00a0has contributed to the increase in population.<\/strong><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

UNIQUE SPECIES IN THE WORLD<\/h2>\n

The\u00a0Galapagos penguin<\/strong>\u00a0(Spheniscus mendiculus) is the only variety that\u00a0lives and nests at the equator<\/strong>\u00a0and is one of the smallest penguin species in the world, reaching up to 35 centimeters in height.<\/p>\n

The\u00a0Galapagos cormorant<\/strong>\u00a0(Phalacrocorax harrisi) inhabits a very restricted area and is the only one in the world that\u00a0lost its ability to fly<\/strong>\u00a0and developed diving skills.<\/p>\n

Both species unique to the Galapagos Islands\u00a0are considered threatened within the red list<\/strong>\u00a0of endangered species of the World Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN).<\/p>\n
