Paradise Retained - Sarah Rose/Plenty

The Gal·pagos Islands have long been a bellweather for the ecological health of the planet. Travelers who follow in Darwin's footsteps could obliterate the fragile beauty of this naturalists' mecca. Or they could rescue it.

Hello,

I currently have 20% discount off market price for a 4-day/3-night cruise on the M/V Galapagos Legend, run by Klein Tours: www.kleintours.com. It's for one person, so would have to be combined with a full price ticket if you wanted a double cabin. The cruise is subject to availability, but is for any cabin on the yacht.

I hope this will be of interest. Please email me for more info: nomadom@aol.com

Saludos,

Dominic

An interesting article posted on the Galapagos Chamber of Tourism website:

The Future of Galapagos Tourism

>> All human visitors to the Galapagos Islands are invasive. But some are more benign than others. <<

Galapagos Islands facing 'environmental crisis'
http://www.dailymail.co.uk/pages/live/articles/news/worldnews.html?in_article_id=447901&amp;in_page_id=1811

Quote:
Ecuador has declared an 'environmental crisis' at the world-famous Galapagos Islands and could temporarily suspend tourism permits. Authorities have said they are considering enforcing rigorous restrictions on the number of visitors to the World Heritage site, to prevent further environmental harm.
