Built and Building Relationships

Student research opportunities are made available because of a collaboration between Baylor University (Waco, Texas, USA) and Universidad San Francisco de Quito (Ecuador).  This research and training would, of course, not be possible without the residents of the Galápagos islands as well as the people who visit this magical place.

Please scroll to see our student participants.  This is all done for them and by them.
