Campfire Description

Hi! Anyone planning to do conservation work on the Galapagos Islands? Let's chat :)

Here's the trip info:
Cut adrift in the Pacific Ocean 1000 miles off the coast of Ecuador, volcanic forces deep under the sea have thrown up a unique wildlife paradise that’s so popular the Ecuadorian government are about to limit the number of visitors dropping anchor on its unique shores. This makes it the best time to visit this amazing island for yourself, and remember to take a camera so people believe your stories! You’ll be based in a fascinating biological station whose aim is to help preserve the natural habitat of the island and introduce new organic farming methods to the islanders. Tasks include planting new crops, assisting in light building and helping maintain island trails. You can also take advantage of your colleagues’ expertise on various hikes to the island’s lagoons, forests and villages and learn about the ecological and human dynamics of Galapagos.
