The Galapagos Islands are a Pacific Island archipelago of volcanic islands distributed around the equator about 600 miles west of continental South America. The Galapagos are a province of Ecuador and part of their national park system.
The islands are famed for their vast number of species unique to the location (endemic), and the studies by Charles Darwin during the voyage of the 'Beagle' that contributed to his theory of evolution by natural selection.
The word galapagos from the Spanish "galápago", "saddle"— after the shells of giant tortoises found only there.

Suriname is the smallest independent country in South America. Eighty percent of Suriname's area is covered with rainforests, the remaining lowland coastal area along the Caribbean is cultivated and has the largest portion of the population, which include descendents of contract laborers from the Middle East, Java, and China, and West African slaves from the colonial plantation period. Twelve percent of Suriname is national parks and lakes, having been cited by UNESCO as a World Heritage Site for its biodiversity. Anna Maria Sibylla Merian was an artist and naturalist who spent several years c. 1700 in the Dutch colony recording the plants and insects. |
