   GALAPAGOS - THE LAST REFUGEE?

   The President of Ecuador Gustavo Noboa has declared martial law on the Galapagos Islands because of an oil-spill threatening the famous nature reserve. An oil slick from the ship "Jessica" reached the shore of one of the island yesterday. So far 600 tons of oil has created an oil slick of over 1200 square kilometers.
   UNESCO has called for an international mobilization to save life on the Islands.
