Thanks for sharing your concern! The Galapagos Islands are indeed a unique and fragile ecosystem with many rare species. That's why the main source of income there is sustainable tourism. The islands are a national park and an international reserve, which means strict regulations and conservation efforts are in place to protect the environment. Visitors are only allowed in certain areas, and activities are designed to minimize impact. The goal is to balance tourism with preservation, ensuring that the Galapagos' natural beauty and biodiversity are maintained for future generations.
@@terrasurtravels That's good. I should have assumed there would have been some level of organization considering how special the islands are. It's been very distressing to see different corners of nature steamrolled by the careless. I wish I could do more to help.
Should not let it become a tourist destination. You cannot have people traipsing through a fragile ecosystem with very rare species.
