These regulations may be an improvement, time will tell, but they don't speak to the most important issue: there is no limit on the number of people who can go to the Galapagos. Until there is some kind of meaningful cap on the number of travelers, the incredibly lengthy rulebook governing what visitors can and cannot do is somewhat meaningless. The number of bodies in the islands, demanding food and fuel, is the principle issue that has caused so many species to be introduced and has caused the significant environmental issues the Galapagos faces.
