守護天堂
比熱戈斯群島位於幾內亞比紹對開海岸,是一個有豐富生物多樣性的群島,88個島嶼之中只有23個有人居住。這裡棲息著獨特的野生動物,包括世界上唯一在海水棲息的河馬、鱷魚、海牛和彈塗魚。每年,有超過三萬隻海龜到群島中的波伊朗島產蛋;然而,海平面上升和氣候暖化正威脅著這個小島和海龜。每年亦有大約80萬隻候鳥到群島繁殖及過冬,當地廣泛的紅樹林更能夠抵抗侵蝕及儲存碳。
然而,氣候變化、污染和過度捕魚正危害著這個生態系統。當地政府和非政府組織正在努力保護群島的生物多樣性,及讓群島得到聯合國教科文組織的世界遺產地位以保護該地的生態。

The Bijagos Archipelago, off the coast of Guinea-Bissau, is a biodiversity haven, with only 23 of its 88 islands inhabited. It shelters unique wildlife, including the only seawater-dwelling hippos, crocodiles, manatees, and frogfish. Each year, over 30,000 sea turtles lay their eggs on Poilão Island within the archipelago; however, rising sea levels and warming temperatures threaten both this site and turtle populations. The archipelago also supports 800,000 migratory birds and features vast stretches of mangroves, which combat erosion and store carbon.
Yet, climate change, pollution, and intensive fishing endanger this ecosystem. Local authorities and NGOs are striving to preserve this biodiversity and are seeking UNESCO World Heritage status to protect the archipelago.
