The Galapagos were the most beautiful islands I have ever seen. They are one of the primary reasons I would return to South America. Although it would seem that they are protected in an extreme by the Ecuadorian government (tourist areas are heavily managed -no entering certain areas without a guide) the area for native inhabitants is sadly unkept and polluted. In order to maintain the island as a whole (and the denizens of this world) equal standards for preservation should be instated throughout the islands and not just the parts that tourists will see.
Below are some photos (pre-DSLR) which I took:
