Humans, History and Ecology in Galápagos The Hacienda El Progreso

Humans, History and Ecology in Galápagos

Despite their popular association with pristine nature and biological evolution the Galápagos Islands have had an almost 500 year involvement with humans. Our project, The Historical Ecology of the Galápagos Islands, explores the human legacy of transformed landscapes through a study of the 19th century Hacienda El Progreso on San Cristóbal Island.
