Nature and Human Lives Seek Equilibrium In Galapagos

GALAPAGOS ISLANDS, ECUADOR - JANUARY 18: Tourists walk near giant tortoises in the highlands of Santa Cruz island on January 18, 2019 in Galapagos Islands, Ecuador. A growing human population and the influx of tourism on the Galapagos islands has created challenges in conserving the UNESCO World Heritage site and it's endemic wildlife. The volcanic archipelago in the Pacific Ocean consists of 13 major islands, 4 of which are inhabited by humans. Much of the Ecuadorian province is protected, but a booming tourism industry has meant the wildlife has had to adapt to a growing human presence. (Photo by Chris J Ratcliffe/Getty Images for Lumix)
