Message from Peter Kramer President of the Board of Directors Annual report 2006 The past year will be remembered as the time when we started implementing an important strategic shift: the inclusion of social and economic research in the set of our primary activities. Some will say that this is not entirely new – and of course they are right! It was always understood that our mission is broader than furthering biological and ecological studies. Many of us remember our discussions decades ago leading to changing the name of our facilities from “Charles Darwin Biological Station” to “Charles Darwin Research Station”. Conservation and sustainable development can succeed only on the basis of solid economic and social knowledge, which needs to be based on sound scientific research. What is new is that we now actively promote and facilitate such essential research. We are doing that in close partnership with all who have a stake in Galapagos conservation, in particular the inhabitants and local institutions of Galapagos. The “Galapagos Report 2006-2007”, recently published jointly with the Galapagos National Park Service and INGALA, points into that new direction. To further illustrate this new approach, this year’s Annual Report highlights local perspectives, local work and local stories. We are particularly proud of our work involving local volunteers, teaching and training of local students on all levels and having Galapagueños of all sectors participating in our research. Galapagos is a global treasure – and it can be preserved only with and through local people.
