Ecuador 2011 [12:45]
My slide show from a 3-week trip to Ecuador in July and August 2011 with my mother Ginger, my sister Molly and a family friend Mike: 2 days in Quito; 5 days in the the Amazon region of el Oriente at the Huaorani Ecolodge; 3 days on Isla Isabela in the Galapagos Islands; 7 nights on the luxury M/V Beluga touring the smaller outer islands; and finally 4 more nights in Quito. The photos are by Molly and me, save the one aerial shot of the Shiripuno river, which was shared with me by the folks at Detour.

A trapped mother and baby whale die in fishermen nets in Ecuador [02:28]
This video shows a mother and a baby humpback whale trapped in fishermens nets in Puerto Lopez in Ecuador. You will notice a group of larger male humpback whales trying to break the mother and baby free. The video was filmed on a boat from the Machala National Parks for tourists that wanted to see the whales. The guides who work for the Ecuadorian National Parks and Ministry of Environment did not want to set the whales free because it would destroy the costly fishermens nets. The mother and baby whale died three days later.
