The Galapagos archipelagos was declared Natural Heritage of Mankind. About 60% of bird species and 90% of reptiles live on these isles. They are endemic. The animals of these isles know no predators and are incredibly tame and peaceful. Hence, the flora and fauna of these isles is so unique.

The Galapagos-Albatros with a wingspan of over 240 cm is like the sea-saurian one of the endemic animals. The sea-saurian is the only animal world-wide, that has adopted an amphibian life-style. They feed on algae and breed on land.

The population of either animal is endangered through different environmental influences. Introduced animals like the rat threaten the spawn and young animals of the local kinds. The increasing illegal fishing in the coastal regions threatens the albatrosses, that often die in the fisher-nets. The leaking Oil-ship Jessica (in January 2001) at the Galapagos-isles had fatal consequences for the sea-saurian middle-term. Months later 62% of the sea-saurian population died on the Santa Fe-Island.

Will the sea-saurian population slowly recover? Will the spread of introduced species be stopped? Can the new Ecological guidelines for fishing be supervised by Navy and National park?
