Views of Nature The Galapagos Archipelago

About this event

These islands and the surrounding ocean are a stunning wildlife sanctuary. 97% of this vast area is a national park administered by the government of Ecuador as a permanent sanctuary for the many species of flora and fauna found here. Many of these are unique to the Galapagos while others visit this area on their migrations. Although the animals are varied, they share one trait; they are very tolerant of human presence. This affords visitors the opportunity to be close and observe natural behavior.

Although most people do think of the wildlife when they hear Galapagos, the human history and culture up to the present day are an important part of the area that we present as well.

This program tours the islands, with superb images of the animals and plant life, we also give our audience a view of the present human population centers as well as an introduction to the geology and the human history of the archipelago. Presented by Views of Nature Photography's Bob Dean
