Mission 2008 Objectives

1. To develop a new preservation strategy for the Galapagos that builds on the current management plan for the Galapagos National Park and the Galapagos Marine Reserve by designating the two as a "World Scientific Preserve" that would be managed by an international commission and funded by a multinational trust.

2. To design and deploy a network of environmental sensors to support a comprehensive program of ecosystem monitoring on the islands and surrounding waters.

3. To design an idealized "village" for permanent residents and visitors that would ensure the lowest possible human impact on island ecosystems.
