比热戈斯群岛
比热戈斯群岛位于几内亚比绍对开海岸,是一个有丰富生物多样性的群岛,88个岛屿之中只有23个有人居住。这里栖息着独特的野生动物,包括世界上唯一在海水栖息的河马、鳄鱼、海牛和弹涂鱼。每年,有超过三万只海龟到群岛中的波伊朗岛产蛋;然而,海平面上升和气候暖化正威胁着这个小岛和海龟。每年亦有大约80万只候鸟到群岛繁殖及过冬,当地广泛的红树林更能够抵抗侵蚀及储存碳。
然而,气候变化、污染和过度捕鱼正危害着这个生态系统。当地政府和非政府组织正在努力保护群岛的生物多样性,及让群岛得到联合国教科文组织的世界遗产地位以保护该地的生态。

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.
