    • Abstract:
      The article reports on the environmental destruction which happened in the Galapagos Islands. It was in this islands where exotic flora and fauna can be found, notably their startlingly varied finches, of which naturalist Charles Darwin found the key evidence for his theory of evolution. It states that there are thousands of peering, prodding and picture-taking tourists who visit the island annually at a considerable risk to the island's frail ecology. It also notes that Ecuadorian authorities have begun to impose strict regulations under the legislation.
