The Galapagos Islands have captured hearts and captivated
imaginations for centuries. Such is their ecological importance
that in 1978 the archipelago was declared the first ever World
Heritage Site, a testament to our collective desire to preserve the
magic and diversity that inspired Darwin. Monty Halls first visited
the islands almost twenty years ago and his immediate fascination
with their wild beauty would go on to shape the rest of his life.
As an explorer, marine biologist, ex-Royal Marine and now President
of the Galapagos Conservation Trust, Monty is a passionate advocate
for those fighting to save the Galapagos. In 2017, he and his
dedicated research team - his wife, Tam, and their two young
daughters, Molly and Isla - moved to Santa Cruz to experience just
what life is like in the world's most spectacular tourist
destination. As weeks turned into months, the Halls family were in
turn spellbound by the beauty of the islands and heartbroken by the
devastation that humans are inflicting upon them. One stint there
was never going to be enough, and just two years later they found
themselves heading back, this time staying on one of the remotest
and most challenging islands, diving into the culture of the
Galapagos and the desperately needed conservation work taking place
there. Written with warmth, humour, and authority, My Family and
the Galapagos follows Monty and his family as they navigate life on
the most important archipelago on the planet and strive to preserve
it for generations to come.
