Galapagos environmental emergency

The government in Ecuador has declared an emergency in the Galapagos islands. A ship carrying petrol which got stuck on the rocks（卡在巖石中間） last week may still carry a threat to the island group’s plants and animals.

 The petrol tanker became stranded off 擱淺the island of San Cristobal on Friday. But despite having emptied the ship’s cargo, the authorities fear that some remaining pollutants（污染物）, like motor oil, could spill over and cause environmental damage.

They said they’re working to remove the vessel. This is not the first ship accident in the Galapagos. In 2001, another stranded petrol tanker spilled fuel（漏油） and decimated（成批殺死）marine life.

 The Galapagos are home to unique animals  such as the giant tortoise, the marine iguana and the flightless （不能飛的）cormorant. The archipelago is also known for its endemic（常見(jiàn)的） finches（雀類）, which were studied in the 1830s by the British scientist Charles Darwin. He went on to publish On the Origin of Species, his revolutionary book on evolution.
