“Strength and unity is the best medicine for conservation."Galapagos Student Finds New Interest in Native Plants
An inquisitive young woman from the Galapagos Islands, Genesis has continued her in-depth search for information about conservation and science after participating in the Galapagos Island Ecology Program.
At her high school, Genesis has taken an active role in the greenhouse program where native Galapagos plants are cultivated. The program investigates sustainable methods of irrigation and fertilization, and Genesis takes the lessons home to share with her family, friends and community. The program has strengthened her resolve to protect native habitat and help in the collective effort to eradicate invasive plants on the Galapagos Islands. She plans to study bioengineering in college and hopes to put her degree to work in the islands she calls home.
