I ka Pōʻalima i hala aku nei, ua kau inoa ʻo Pelekikena Ecuadorian Guillermo Lasso i ke kauoha e hoʻokumu i ka Galapagos Marine Reserve hou, i kapa ʻia ʻo Hermandad a i ʻole "Brotherhood." Hoʻonui ka ʻāina i ka nui o ka moana i mālama ʻia ma ka pae ʻāina e 45%, mai 133,000 km.² (51,351 sq mile) i 193,000 km² (74,517 sq mile, ʻelua a me ka hapalua ka nui o ka mokuʻāina ʻo Maryland).

Ua malamaia ke kakau inoa ana o ke kauoha ma ka Nā mokupuniʻo Galapagos, me ke alo o Ivan Duque, Peresidena o Kolombia, a me na Kuhina o ko na aina e o Panama a me Koka Rika. ʻO ka Pelekikena mua o ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa, ʻo Bill Clinton, i ʻike i ke kau inoa ʻana. ʻO nā mea hanohano ʻē aʻe mai ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa a me ʻEkuador, a me nā hui nui ʻo Galapagos, aia pū kekahi, ʻo ia hoʻi ʻo Kauka Sylvia Earle ka mea ola moana kaulana a me ka conservationist.

"Aia kekahi mau wahi i hōʻailona i ka mōʻaukala o ke kanaka a i kēia lā ua loaʻa iā mākou ka hanohano o ka noho ʻana ma kekahi o ia mau wahi. Ua aʻo mai kēia mau mokupuni e hoʻokipa iā mākou i nā mea he nui e pili ana iā mākou iho. No laila, ʻaʻole anei mākou e hana ma ke ʻano he mau haku o kēia mau ʻāina a me nā kai, ʻaʻole anei mākou e hoʻomalu no lākou?" wahi a Peresidena Lasso.

ʻAʻole ia he mea kūpono ʻole ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana o ka ʻāina hou i ka hikina akau, ʻoiai ʻo ka pahuhopu e hana i kahi pilina "alanui moana" me Koka RikaʻO nā mokupuni ʻo Cocos - he ala neʻe i hoʻohana ʻia e nā miliona o nā honu kai, nā kohola, nā manō a me nā kukuna - ma laila e hui pū ai i ʻelua mau kahua hoʻoilina honua UNESCO.

Ma hope o kā lākou hoʻolaha ʻana ma COP26 ma Glasgow i ka hopena o ka makahiki i hala, ʻEkuador, Kolombia, Panama a me Koka Rika ua kūpaʻa lākou a pau i ka hana pū ʻana e hoʻokumu i kahi ala moana nui ʻo Eastern Tropical Pacific Marine Corridor ma waena o ko lākou mau ʻāina.

ʻO ka ʻōlelo i kau inoa ʻia ma ka Pōʻalima me ke kānalua ʻole i ka mālama ʻana i nā ʻike holoholona hihiu e mahalo nui ʻia e nā malihini ma ka Nā mokupuniʻo Galapagos. E leʻaleʻa a mahalo lākou i nā hui kūlohelohe moana like ʻole - inā ma o ka ʻimi ʻana i kahakai me nā waʻa, nā kayak, nā papa hoe kū i luna a i ʻole nā moku aniani-lalo, snorkeling a i ʻole SCUBA luʻu - no nā makahiki e hiki mai ana.

He aha e lawe ʻia mai kēia ʻatikala:

Ua mālama ʻia ka hoʻopaʻa inoa ʻana o ke kauoha ma nā mokupuni ʻo Galapagos, me ka noho ʻana o Ivan Duque, Pelekikena o Colombia, a me nā Kuhina o ko nā ʻāina ʻē o Panama a me Costa Rica.
ʻAʻole ia he mea kūpono ʻole ka hoʻonui ʻia ʻana o ka ʻāina hou i ka hikina akau, ʻoiai ʻo ka pahuhopu e hana i kahi pilina "alanui moana" me nā mokupuni ʻo Cocos o Costa Rica - kahi ala neʻe i hoʻohana ʻia e nā miliona o nā manu kuhukukū, nā kohola, nā manō a me nā kukuna - a laila e hui pū me ʻelua UNESCO kai. Nā kahua hoʻoilina honua.
"Aia kekahi mau wahi i hōʻailona i ka mōʻaukala o ke kanaka a i kēia lā ua loaʻa iā mākou ka hanohano o ka noho ʻana i kekahi o ia mau wahi.
