This title takes readers on an incredible journey to the Galápagos Islands, one of the world's most extraordinary, yet endangered, Troubled Treasures. Young travel enthusiasts are sure to appreciate the large, colorful photos of unique endemic species such as Galápagos giant tortoises, Galápagos sea lions, and Galápagos marine iguanas. Popular native creatures, such as blue-footed boobies, are also introduced. Helpful diagrams demonstrate how the archipelago formed over a hot spot and how ocean currents impact its unique environment. Students will also become familiar with UNESCO and why the Galápagos were named a World Heritage site. Colorful maps show where in the world the Galápagos are located and give a detailed view of the official World Heritage area. From the archipelago's formation to Darwin's theory of evolution to today's conservation efforts, readers will gain an understanding of the islands' history and their significance to scientific study. Tips for how to be a conscious tourist encourage kids to consider responsible environmental actions on the islands and at home. Informative sidebars and fun facts offer additional opportunities for readers to explore the Galápagos, while bolded glossary terms, phonetic spellings, and an index make this adventurous volume accessible!

Armchair adventurers can set sail for the remote Galapagos Islands and learn about the strange and unique animals that live there. The Galapagos Islands are a chain of volcanic islands located on either side of the equator in the Pacific Ocean. The isolated location of the islands has allowed a vast number of species to develop that are original to each island, such as the marine iguana, the blue-footed booby, the magnificent frigatebird and of course the giant Galapagos tortoise, which may live to be over one hundred years old. Studied by Charles Darwin during his historic voyage on the HMS Beagle, the island life contributed to his groundbreaking theory of evolution. Today the islands are a popular tourist destination and a UNESCO World Heritage site. This book, part of the New York Times best-selling series, is enhanced by eighty illustrations.

In this launch of the Galapagos series, this book provides a broad “framing” assessment of the current status of social and ecological systems in the Galapagos Islands, and the feedback that explicitly links people to the environment. It also highlights the challenges to conservation imposed by tourism in the Galapagos Islands and the attendant migration of people from mainland Ecuador to service the burgeoning tourism industry. Further, there is an emphasize on the status of the terrestrial and marine environments that form the very foundation of the deep attraction to the Islands by tourists, residents, scholars, and conservationists.
