Galapagos Islands - Restless Isabela - Environmental Education [06:58]
A Galápagos island struggles to adapt to the modern world. The people of Isabela disagree with the management techniques of the Parque Nacional and to some extent take for granted to pristine and unique wildlife native to their island. RestlessIsabela.org

Improving Livelihoods by Conserving Mangroves [06:29]
More than 900 families in Ecuador depend on crabbing in the mangroves of the Gulf of Guayaquil. These same mangroves mitigate global warming and contribute to global carbon sequestration efforts. The Gulf is one of six sites where the USAID Sustainable Forests and Coasts project is conserving biodiversity and protecting natural resources from depletion. In this case, the project works with the Ministry of the Environment and crabbing communities to protect the $60 million in crabbing related activities while preventing mangrove deforestation. See how over 60000 hectares are being protected as well as how the project is helping communities receive a higher price for their crab meat sales.

Galapagos Islands ... a short stay! [04:46]
Another part of our South American adventure in October 2011 was a visit to the Galapagos Islands, nearly 700 miles off the coast of Ecuador. It really is the most wonderful part of the world, virtually unspoiled and a magical environment for seeing nature and wildlife in it's element. We stayed for 3 nights aboard the Santa Cruz and visited 6 of the main islands. Enjoy John O'Brien PS This was shot on an i-phone so the quality isn't great, the camera judder is inevitable when used hand held.
