The Galapagos Islands are world famous and a dream for many tourists all over the world. Every year 185.000 tourist visit the Galapagos to appreciate this unique ecosystem and its fearless inhabitants, and see Darwin’s evolution theory in the flesh. But Galapagos is also a province of Ecuador, with over 50.000 permanent inhabitants. To have these two combine together, without destroying the unique eco-system, the Galapagos became a world heritage site and a national park.
The Galapagos National Park is responsible for the conservation of the ecological integrity and biodiversity of island and marine ecosystems of the protected areas of the Galapagos archipelago, as well as the rational use of goods and services they generate for the community.
On San Cristobal Island, there are 52 permanent employees of the national park, including park guards, coast guards, and administrative staff. This is too little to execute all the programs on the island, and help of interns is much appreciated.
