Now the islands received the prize to the best sustainable place in the American continent, at the gala of the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galapagosgalaxycruises.com\/galapagos-islands-awarded-at-itb-berlin-2019\/\">ITB Berlin on March 6, 2019<\/a>.&nbsp;Galapagos was categorized as &#8220;<strong>Green Destinations&#8221;<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">Considered a living laboratory, in this place was rediscovered a <strong>giant tortoise<\/strong> declared extinct a century ago; Recently, a new hammerhead shark breeding center was discovered on the islands; the population of these sharks is really low and finding a place like this gives the species more <strong>chance to survive<\/strong>.<\/p>\n<h3 style=\"text-align: justify;\"><strong>Principal Characteristics<\/strong><\/h3>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-8414 alignright\" src=\"https:\/\/galapagosgalaxycruises.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/02\/happy-travelers-300x200.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"300\" height=\"200\"><\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Galapagos Islands are developed on the basis of volcanic eruptions that have been occurring for centuries and are constantly occurring these days. The whole place is the result of <a href=\"https:\/\/www.galapagosgalaxycruises.com\/isabella-volcano-eruption\/\"><strong>volcanic activity<\/strong><\/a>. Landscapes made of lava and a combination of fire and water create tunnels and lava flows, considered as otherworldly landscapes.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The constant volcanic activity has an impact on the ecosystem consequently allows species to be constantly born and evolve. The Galapagos Islands are the place where scientist <strong>Charles Darwin<\/strong> gets inspired by his <strong>theory on the evolution of species<\/strong>. The theory is based on the characteristics that some finches and animals show in contrast from the islands; In the islands, the species adapt to the <strong>ecosystem<\/strong> by changing parts of their bodies; Also adapt their <strong>capacities to survive<\/strong> in the environment.<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: justify;\">The Islands are part of the <strong>Galapagos National Park<\/strong> and have a lot of restrictions to preserve the ecosystem. For that reason, knowing and finding the species could be a very difficult goal to achieve if it is not done properly.
