Interpretation

After of my participation in the marine tortoises program, Charles Darwin Foundation (CDF) called me, to be a volunteer in the ¨Victor Van Stralen Center¨. I was responsible for the administration of the center and I had to project a video about Galapagos Islands, the evolution, the endemic species, how the introduced species threaten the balance in the islands and people´s way of life and their friendship with the tourists. Sometimes someone was lost and had to help them.

I was also a guide inside the center, had to take tourists without a naturalist guide to tour the pens of the giant tortoises and land iguanas. I had the opportunity to take care of Lonesome George in his yard, put food in his cage and view him up close for 2 weeks. But after my participation in this important center had more experience in the natural world of Galapagos. But anyone can do what I did, Galapagos Islands and it is biodiversity needs all the help possible.
