Galapagos National Park
On the one hundredth anniversary of the publication of The Origin of Species in 1959 the Galapagos Island National Park was created and in 1998 the interior waters of the Archipelago were declared a Biological Marine Reserve, the second largest in the world. UNESCO delegated the National Park Service guardians of the islands and they are responsible for their permanent conservation.
The Galapagos Archipelago was one of the first four natural places in the world to be declared a World Heritage Site and eight years later the Islands became a Biosphere Reserve due to their unique scientific and educational importance.
