“The Islands have served as the world’s living laboratory since Charles Darwin based his theory of evolution on his work there.”The Galapagos Islands isolation, small size and high diversity make them ideal for the study of climate change, invasive species management, impacts of tourism on park and wilderness area management, and fisheries and marine reserve management. The committee met with the Galapagos National Park director, and the Charles Darwin Research Station staff.
