Michelle York+FollowExtinct Gecko Makes Wild Comeback!Imagine thinking a species was gone for 5,000 years, then—boom!—it pops up alive and well. That’s what happened with the leaf-toed gecko on Rábida Island in the Galápagos. After conservationists kicked out invasive rats, this tiny gecko, only known from fossils, started showing up again. It’s being called one of the most epic wildlife comebacks ever. Nature really does bounce back when we give it a chance! #Science #WildlifeWin #Galapagos420Share
James Brady+FollowMicroplastics Invade the Galapagos?!Microplastics are showing up in the Galapagos—yep, even in this iconic protected paradise. Scientists found these tiny plastic bits in turtles and sand, proving pollution doesn’t care about borders. The wild part? These plastics travel across oceans, sneaking into even the most untouched places. Cleanup efforts are underway, but experts say the real fix is rethinking our plastic use. Kinda wild (and scary) to think the stuff we toss can end up halfway around the world! #Science #Galapagos #Microplastics21Share
