A tortoise is seen in the Cerro Blanco Forest (Bosque Protector Cerro Blanco in Spanish), a tropical dry forest reserve in the Guayas Province in southern Ecuador, on the outskirts of Guayaquil, on April 18, 2023. Immense craters are leaving clearings in a corridor of forest that borders the Ecuadorean city of Guayaquil and extends to Peru. Cerro Blanco, an “island” of exceptional fauna and flora, is threatened by quarries, construction and deforestation. (Photo by Marcos Pin/AFP Photo)
