Ecuador-Galapagos-Seal-Jessica
A seal rests on the shores of San Cristobal island in the Galapagos Islands, 26 January 2001. The Ecuadorean-registered tanker " Jessica" ran aground 16 January 2001 spilling most of its cargo of diesel and bunker fuel.

EDITORS COMMENTS
In this poignant print captured by Agence France-Presse (AFP), we witness the devastating aftermath of an environmental disaster in the Galapagos Islands. The image portrays a seal seeking solace on the shores of San Cristobal island, its once pristine habitat now tainted by tragedy. The photograph serves as a haunting reminder of the Ecuadorean-registered tanker "Jessica" which ran aground on January 16,2001, resulting in a catastrophic spill of diesel and bunker fuel. The repercussions of this incident continue to pose a grave threat to the unique animal species that call these islands home. Among those most at risk are the iconic giant tortoises, numbering around 10,000 individuals. These gentle giants have long been synonymous with the Galapagos Islands and their survival is now hanging in precarious balance due to this man-made catastrophe. As we gaze upon this image, we cannot help but feel both sorrow for what has been lost and determination to protect what remains. It serves as a stark reminder that our actions can have far-reaching consequences for fragile ecosystems like those found in Ecuador's treasured archipelago. Let us use this photograph not only as a testament to nature's resilience but also as motivation to take immediate action against further harm. May it inspire us all to be vigilant guardians of our planet's precious biodiversity so that future generations may continue to marvel at wonders such as these remarkable seals resting undisturbed along pristine shorelines.
