12. Invasive Vegetation, Road to La Soledad, San Cristóbal, in 2014
- Description:
- Exotic invasives quickly colonize abandoned agricultural lands in the verdant landscapes of the highland ZUEs. This increases the effort required to bring farms back into production and incentivizes their abandonment. This wall of vines along the road leading to La Soledad, is typical of vegetative growth in the ZUE agricultural landscapes.

13. A Family of Village Residents in Hacienda El Progreso
- Description:
- Estimates of of the hacienda's population vary through time, but the relative dearth of women on the island was always noted. Accusations of promiscuity and multiple unions were said to be common, and some observers mentioned that the lack of women was a root cause for conflict between male workers. An 1889 census counted 213 men, 54 women, and 20 children on the island.

18. Rat Traps Set on Farmland, Santo Tomás, Isabela Island, in 2016
- Description:
- Although impossible to substantiate, exotic rats may have been the earliest introduced alien on the islands. They could easily have been introduced as ships were careened and "smoked" on islands from early times. They are today particularly widespread, having invaded at least 36 islands where they prey on the eggs and young of reptiles and birds.
