My memoir Chasing a Dream in the Galapagos: A Personal Evolution was recently published and is now on the Galapagos Conservancy Web site. In it I describe how Darwin influenced my journey to the islands and how he has changed my view of the world. Like you, I am also a conservationist. As you probably know, the islands are now a World Heritage Site in Danger due mostly to human influence: habitat destruction, introduced species, infections, illegal hunting and fishing, and climate change. Your blog gives me hope that with enough of us out here who care about the planet, its endangered species and resources, conservation will become a high priority. If you're interested in my book, you can go to my Web site at betteblaydespegas.com. Thanks again for your blog.--Bette Hi, Dave and Meridith–I am a fellow lover of the Galapagos.
