The Galapagos Need You! June 15, 2007

Greetings!
Over the past several months, the international community has focused significant attention on Galapagos.

We welcome your comments on items mentioned in this issue and ideas for future articles. We also would like to take this opportunity to thank you for your partnership and advocacy on behalf of this very important place. Please visit the websites of Galapagos Conservancy and the Charles Darwin Foundation for more news and information about Galapagos.
