Description

The Galapagos Islands have long been a source of fascination for many. In 1978, they were declared the world's first World Heritage Site, a testament to our desire to preserve their unique magic and diversity. Monty Halls' own connection to the islands began almost twenty years ago, when he first visited and was captivated by their wild beauty. As an explorer, marine biologist, ex-Royal Marine, and now President of the Galapagos Conservation Trust, Monty is a passionate advocate for conservation efforts in the archipelago. In 2017, he moved to Santa Cruz with his family, including his wife and two young daughters, to experience life on the islands firsthand. Their initial weeks turned into months, during which they were both spellbound by the beauty of the islands and heartbroken by the devastating impact of human activity. This book follows Monty and his family as they navigate life on the Galapagos Islands and work towards preserving this unique ecosystem for future generations.
