Abstract
The Galapagos Archipelago draws its romantic legacy from the writings of Charles Darwin, who, by recognizing the unique properties of the islands, challenged the science and religion of his day. Today, the widely held perception of the Galapagos is that of the birthplace of evolution: a “natural laboratory” set apart from space and time by its pristine and unique qualities. The Galapagos is subject to a popular idealism that promotes the conservation of the islands’ raw nature, above all else.
