When you look at the fuel we burn to go places and the impact we make that actually destroys what we are dying to preserve, it makes more sense. That the Galapagos are considering a golf course, like Easter Island was, is insane. If the wealthy want to play golf they can go to any number of places that have already been destroyed for their leisure. Although I am dying to see Galapagos, I am going to stay home.

I had no idea 30,000 live there. I knew there was crazy tourism, but not that heavy. Did you see any of the pink iguanas they just documented last month while you were there? Thought one of your pics might have been a pinky couple.(?) As beautiful and strange as they are, they're on the "critically endangered" list too. Sad to wonder how much out there may have come and gone without us even knowing about it. ...But great work! Keep it up, love the site. Nice slideshow, Ramon. Your photos are wrenching.
