This archive photo shows an iguana walking in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador 01 January 2001.
(ARCHIVO) Una iguana terreste camina por su territorio en la isla Seymur, en el archipielago de Galapagos, Ecuador, en enero de 2001. La fundacion ecologista Charles Darwin y el Parque Nacional Galapagos suscribieron un acuerdo de cooperacion para proteger a las iguanas, muchas de las cuales mueren atropelladas por vehiculos o devoradas por perros domesticos. Las iguanas terrestres son una de las especies endemicas de Galapagos, ubicada 1.000 km frente a las costas de Ecuador. El archipielago le sirvio de laboratorio natural al cientifico ingles Charles Darwin para que concibiera su teoria sobre la evolucion de las especies.

EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures the essence of the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador, showcasing a majestic iguana gracefully strolling through its territory. Taken on January 1st, 2001, this archival image showcases the terrestrial iguana species found on Seymur Island within the Galapagos archipelago. The Charles Darwin Ecological Foundation and Galapagos National Park joined forces to protect these unique creatures from various threats they face daily. Sadly, many iguanas fall victim to vehicle accidents or become prey for domestic dogs. As one of the endemic species found in Galapagos, located 1,000 km off Ecuador's coast, preserving their population is crucial. The archipelago itself served as a natural laboratory for renowned English scientist Charles Darwin when he developed his groundbreaking theory on evolution. This photograph beautifully encapsulates both the scientific significance and ecological importance of these islands. Martin Bernetti expertly captured this moment with his lens, allowing us to appreciate every intricate detail of this reptile's features up close. The horizontal composition emphasizes its front view while highlighting its vibrant scales and distinctive appearance. As an illustration of Latin American wildlife at its finest, this print serves as a reminder of our responsibility to protect and conserve such remarkable creatures that contribute to our planet's biodiversity.
