Bezos Earth Fund 322d ago

In the waters around the Galápagos, Fundación Jocotoco, with the support of Bezos Earth Fund, is working to protect one of the world’s most iconic marine ecosystems. Illegal, unreported and unregulated fishing remains a serious threat, but this is what it takes to stop it. Through high-tech surveillance and stronger enforcement, Jocotoco is helping endangered species like hammerhead sharks and sea turtles recover – and making sure marine protected areas aren’t just lines on a map. The Galápagos is part of the Eastern Tropical Pacific, a vast marine corridor stretching across Ecuador, Colombia, Panama, and Costa Rica. It’s one of the most biodiverse ocean regions in the world, and one of the most threatened.
