In the Footsteps of Darwin: Geoheritage, Geotourism and Conservation in the Galapagos Islands[electronic resource] /by Daniel Kelley, Kevin Page, Diego Quiroga, Raul Salazar. - 1st ed. 2019. - VI, 183 p.online resource. - Geoheritage, Geoparks and Geotourism, Conservation and Management Series,2363-765X. - Geoheritage, Geoparks and Geotourism, Conservation and Management Series,.

Introduction -- The Geological Evolution of the Galapagos Islands -- The Origins and Ecology of the Galapagos Islands -- Geoconservation, Geotourism and Sustainable Development in the Galapagos -- The Geodiversity and Geoheritage of the Galapagos Islands: A Geotouristic Guide.

This book provides the first-ever overview of and guide to the geological setting and related features of the famous, volcanically active Galapagos Islands, as well as an in-depth analysis of the setting’s relationship to the region’s unique and iconic ecology, and its conservation. Further, it provides an introduction to human settlement and activity on the islands, including the transition from subsistence to a fishing economy and more recently tourism, all in the context of increasingly restrictive conservation regulations. Importantly, the book also explores the development of the concept and practice of sustainable development across the islands as a framework for future economic development, pursuing an approach that reconciles the needs of the resident population with conservation of this fragile environment. The book is intended for a broad readership, from those engaged in geological and ecological studies, college and university educators and conservation practitioners, to more general visitors to the islands.
