Synopsis
The Galápagos Islands, considered by most people to be one of the earth's few remaining paradises, is exposed in this book as a place that has been just as vulnerable to human depredation as any other. Local fishermen are wiping out the sea cucumbers (considered aphrodisiacs) that are vital to the ecology of the area. A profusion of wild goats and pigs overrun the islands. Illegal hunting and harvesting are rampant. And a corrupt Ecuadorian government does little to regulate things.

Industry Reviews
"[A] stunning and depressing account....The rotting underside of a lovely, fragile leaf. Disturbing."
