March 12, 2013 Galapagos Islands is a mass group of island that form an archipelago in the pacific ocean near the equator. The Galapagos are a part of the Ecuador. It's a home to vast array of plants and animals. This area is not only rich with diversity but a place to be vigilantly protected. It was by the year 1835 when Charles Darwin made his discoveries about the species that were thought before to be immutable to be now part of the “Darwin’s theory of Natural Selection” which says that the species adapt according to their environment, that the Islands gained a lot of recognition and more people became interested in visiting them(Danulat, 2003). For decades tourists have flooded the Galapagos, but with pros and cons to both tourism and ecotourism there are many steps to restore habitat that have been destroyed due to the cause of many destructive acts of the visitors. Since mankind is adventurous in nature from the very beginning, so we can't stop them going to Galapagos island to see the unseen and enjoy the beauty of the nature, instead we can educate the people and promote ecotourism. Some major issues of tourism on the Galapagos is that tourists pollute the air and water, leads to the destruction of the natural habitat and also they lead to species becoming endangered and sometimes extinct. Tourists usually go to the Galapagos to have fun but they don't realize that they spoil the environment by their residues like plastics, bottles, papers and the cigarette butts. They pollute the air by smoking and also through transportation like motorboats, cars, plans which emits carbon-dioxide, lead etc. The species living in there can consume these harmful things and gradually become endangered. The tourist also throw their thrash in

    Large cruise ships increase pollution in the areas from the ships and from the tourist. Tourists and tourism developments disrupt wildlife and damage habitats leading to reduced biodiversity. National parks have been set up to allow tourism whilst protecting the environment e.g. denali national park in Alaska was set up in 1917 and then expanded in 1980 to induce a greater area of land. Cars and private vehicles are banned from the park so visitor’s have to travel in park buses on approved routes. The most vulnerable parts of the park don’t have any roads at all. So the ground is protected from the damaging effects of vehicles.…
