Ecuador: stop the Pirates of the Galapagos!
An illegal Chinese fishing boat has just taken part in the *largest-ever* catch of endangered sharks -- from the animal paradise of the Galapagos! And there's hundreds more ships trying to do the same.

We need to act before these poaching pirates destroy one of the most iconic marine reserves on Earth.

Since this story broke, Ecuador's government has been under unprecedented domestic pressure to stand up to China, and was already forced into sending a formal diplomatic complaint.

Let's give local activists critical support by making this scandal global -- together we can push Ecuador to step up enforcement to stop all illegal boats...and save the Galapagos! Add your name.
