As I study this place (Galapagos) I am realizing that there is more to understand than just a pristine archepelago where Darwin baked his theory. There are people who inhabit this island chain…30,000 of them. And despite efforts to stem the overflow of tourism, (maybe as many as 140,000 visitors in this Darwin 200th Anniversary year) we have to ask is we are loving the Galapagos too much.
So - read this article by Cecilia Alvear, and let me know what you think?
