Science and Conservation in the Galapagos Islands : Springer : 9781493902163 : 1493902164 : 28 Jan 2015 : In this launch of the Galapagos series, this book provides a broad ?framing? assessment of the current status of social and ecological systems in the Galapagos Islands, and the feedback that explicitly links people to the environment. It also highlights the challenges to conservation imposed by tourism in the Galapagos Islands and the attendant migration of people from mainland Ecuador to service the burgeoning tourism industry. Further, there is an emphasize on the status of the terrestrial and marine environments that form the very foundation of the deep attraction to the Islands by tourists, residents, scholars, and conservationists.
