A school of fish is seen at the Sanctuary of Fauna and Flora Malpelo, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, on the island of Malpelo in the Colombian Pacific on September 8, 2024. A lone catamaran guards the waters around the remote island of Malpelo, a paradise for endangered marine species in the Colombian Pacific. Its crew of privately-funded environmentalists is the terror of boats illegally fishing for sharks inside a marine reserve some 500 kilometers (310 miles) off the mainland.
