Since making the archipelago its home some 600,000 years ago, the Galápagos sea lion has inhabited only this part of the world, successfully adapting to a tropical ecosystem. Natural events such as El Niño, global warming, and factors like human activity have taken their toll on this animal, which has lost nearly 50% of its population in the last 50 years, according to experts. Faced with this situation, residents emphasize a relationship of respect and coexistence with this pinniped. Younger generations are paying attention and preparing to be the next line of protection for the sea lion. Source CNN
