Protecting Galapogos

"The highland forests of the populated Islands in the Galapagos chain have been greatly altered due to the introduction of exotic and invasive species of animals and plants.  Highland conservation, development and poverty issues have been almost completely neglected by conservation, development and government agencies. These are the projects that volunteer groups take on to conserve this Natural Wonder of the World." - San Cristobal Reserve and Biological Center, Galapagos Islands

To me, contributing to developing countries in turn contributes to global wellness. There is a great deal to teach while protecting environmental gems like Galapagos and while helping to improve the quality of life for others beyond your own borders, but there is also so much to be learned by sharing your time with people from other cultures in their own lands. This valuable exchange, in my opinion, can do nothing but benefit humanity as a whole as more people become involved. Your help is greatly appreciated on this journey.

Thank you for your time,
