Introduction to the Web Journal
The Galapagos Islands are without a doubt one of the
most spectacular places on Earth. During this workshop we were fortunate to
have excellent weather, a comfortable boat with a great crew, a very
knowledgeable guide and instructor, and a cohesive and inquisitive group of
participants.
For this Web Journal, I asked the participants to write
briefly about their impressions of each island and the biological,
ecological and development challenges that they perceived. |

This program contributes to the sustainability of
the research efforts that the Ohio University Tropical Disease Institute
carries out in Ecuador through our Infectious Disease Research Laboratory. It is our hope that this pages help to educate those
interested about this unique and fragile place, and perhaps, raise their
interest in joining one of our next visits to the Enchanted Islands.
