Read the following passage and mark the letter A, B, C or D on your answer sheet to
indicate the correct answer to each of the following questions.
Tourism endangers rare species on the Galapagos Islands, including lizards, birds, and other
animals. Especially finches, birds that helped Charles Darwin prove his theory of evolution, are in
danger of dying out completely.
The Galapagos Islands, located in the Pacific Ocean and around a thousand kilometers from
Ecuador's coast, are unique due to their diverse ecosystem, including exclusive animal and plant
species. Recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, they face environmental degradation.
Coastlines and harbors show signs of oily water as boatloads of tourists arrive there. Towns have
hotels that are only half-finished. And ecologists complain about dirty, contaminated groundwater,
because the sewers are leaky.
The Galapagos Islands have experienced an economic surge recently. With around 40,000
residents, Ecuador's wealthiest region offers wages nearly 70% higher than the national average.
Although Ecuadorian authorities restrict immigrants to the islands, many go there searching for a new
life. With them arrive new species of ants and insects. They also bring along dogs, cats, rats, and
other animals that threaten the natural ecosystem of the islands.
Initially, ecotourism attracted only a few visitors to the Galapagos Islands each year. But now, the
number has increased to almost 200,000 tourists annually. However, these tourists aren't necessarily
interested in the islands' biology or wildlife; they want to enjoy a nice vacation in an exotic place.
Many opt for packaged cruise tours, which can be expensive, averaging around $3000 for a week-long
trip, including flights to Ecuador.
The fight to save the endangered islands has long been underway. Even though the Galapagos
Islands are being helped with money from environmentalist organizations, local people do not always
know how to use it. The government has also realized that they need to protect the islands because
tourism is a significant source of income for the poor Latin American country.
