Fundación MACC estuvo presente en las jornadas del Día Internacional de Limpieza de Playas (ICC) en Salinas y Crucita, junto a Ocean Conservancy, autoridades locales y cientos de voluntarios que se unieron con un solo objetivo: cuidar nuestro mar.

Gracias a todos los que se pusieron los guantes, levantaron una funda y dieron su tiempo para proteger nuestras playas. 🙌

Entre ambos eventos:

🧹 Desechos contaminantes recogidos
🤝 Cientos de voluntarios unidos
🌊 Playas más limpias y comunidades más conscientes
🏅 Reconocimiento internacional por nuestro compromiso

Esto recién empieza.
Seguiremos recorriendo más ciudades del Ecuador, porque el océano nos necesita a todos. 💙

The theme of is "recovering key species for ecosystem restoration" and today's celebrations seek to draw attention to the conservation of some of our planet's most critically endangered wild species.

In Galápagos, there may be no species quite as rare as the Fernandina Giant Tortoise. Fernanda (pictured here) was discovered on a joint expedition in 2019, and DNA testing confirmed her status as the only known living member of her species in 2021. In fact, prior to Fernanda's appearance, scientists had assumed that the species had gone extinct as nobody had seen a Fernandina Giant Tortoise in over 100 years!

Today, Fernanda lives comfortably in the care of world-class Giant Tortoise experts from the Galápagos National Park Directorate (Parque Nacional Galápagos) as she, alongside the rest of us, awaits the discovery of a second Fernandina Giant Tortoise.

Soon another expedition — manned by Galápagos Conservancy scientists and Galápagos National Park Rangers — will set sail once again to the volcanic shores of Fernandina Island. There they will scour the harsh terrain in hopes of locating another Giant Tortoise that, if found to be a male, will start a captive breeding and rearing program aimed at saving the species from extinction.

The expedition embarks soon so stay tuned to keep up with all the latest breaking news! But for now, Happy World Wildlife Day!
