global coordinates

The numbers on these masks are the global coordinates of the Galápagos Marine Reserve in the Galápagos Islands — a reminder that we’re all connected no matter our gender, race, religion, or where we live.

600 miles off Ecuador’s coast is the Galápagos Marine Reserve. This refuge one of the largest and most biologically diverse marine protected areas in the world (51,352 square miles to be exact), and is home to over 2,900 marine species including whales, dolphins, sea lions, penguins, sea turtles, and tropical fishes!
