Off Ecuador's Galapagos, a former #shark-#poaching ship's new mission phys.org/news/2024-07-ecuador-…

Today, the vessel has been repurposed for environmental patrols of those same waters, helping to hunt down predatory vessels of the kind it once was. It has also been renamed #Hualcopo for an Indigenous leader of centuries ago.

predicting that up to one million #animal and #plant species could soon be extinct.

Please sign and share our petition and speak out against these barbaric markets.
