World Wildlife Fund's Gift Catalog - 2008-2009 - (Page 20) World of wonder Galápagos Much of what we now understand about the natural world was inspired by the unique diversity of the Galápagos region. Almost 2,000 Galápagos species live nowhere else on Earth. Adopt a BlueFooted Booby The name “Booby” pokes fun at the bird’s clumsiness on land. But bluefooted boobies are quite graceful in the water. Their blue feet are part of a colorful mating dance, and when their eggs are laid, the male and female take turns sitting. And that’s another important role those bright blue feet serve — they help keep the eggs warm. $100 $50 $25 CTBB Bartolomé Island, Galápagos Galápagos sea lion and Sally lightfoot crabs Galápagos Islands Frigate bird in flight, Seymour Island, Galápagos Blue-footed boobies on salt rock, Galápagos Tourists watching a breaching orca whale, Galápagos Adopt a Galápagos Marine Iguana “Ugly animals,” wrote naturalist Charles Darwin of the iguanas he saw on the Galápagos. But many others have found the iguana to be mesmerizing and strangely beautiful. Land iguanas are territorial and indicate aggression by nodding their heads. $100 $50 $25 CTIG Adopt a Galápagos Sea Lion Sea lions are sociable, inquisitive animals with no natural fear of humans. This often brings them close to boats and tourists — putting them at risk from threats like fishing nets and pollution. WWF is working to create solutions that promote sustainable tourism, while protecting critical sea lion habitat.
