Item Description
This 14" x 11" photograph was taken by a professional photographer friend of THLN in November of 2008 in the Galapagos Islands. The photographer, a compassionate animal welfare advocate, was gracious enough to donate this auction.
The Galapagos Sea Lion is a common mammal in the islands and is endemic to the archipelago. It is subspecies wollebacki of the California Sea Lion, considered by some authorities to be a full species.
Due to its small-scale occurrence, small fluctuating population size, and suggested decline of 50% over the last 30 years the Galápagos Sea Lion should be classified as Endangered according to the International Union for Conservation of Nature Red List of Threatened Species, the world's most comprehensive inventory of the global conservation status of biological species.
