“It’saverytensesituation,”saidLeonorStjepic,directoroftheLondon-basedGalapagosConservationTrust,whichraisesmoneytohelpprojectsontheislands.“Wearewatchingitwithconcern.”
Theviolencehasbeentriggeredbyanalarminggrowthintheislands’population.PuertoAyora,onSantaCruzisland,housedjust45inhabitantsinthe50s.Todaytherearemorethan10,000,whiletheislands'totalpopulationismorethan19,000andgrowingby6percentayear,despiterecentlyintroducedalawtolimitwavesofimmigrantsfleeingthepoorareasofEcuadorforalife“inparadise(天堂)”.Ontopofthis,morethan100,000touristsvisittheislandseveryyear.
