Darwin’s Missed Islands | Go Wild

In the Mediterranean Sea there is a group of isolated lands where its inhabitants evolved separately from the rest of the planet. The Balearic Islands are also considered a world apart of unique fauna, formed by four main islands with thousands of stories to tell. The islands that Charles Darwin would have liked to see, tells the story of Charles Darwin’s journey in the hypothetical case that he had travelled with the HMS Beagle to the Balearic Islands, instead of going to the Galapagos Islands. In the Balearic Islands, the fauna and flora also arrived from the surrounding continents, in some cases with the same means of transport as those of the Galapagos Islands. In other cases, they were due to long journeys and millennial adaptations. In this archipelago, evolution also gave animals and plants unique forms and behaviours in the world.
