10-day exploration, I was able to see parts of the island where I assisted the rangers and researchers in collecting data to determine how quickly the giant tortoises grow by measuring the wild giant tortoises (Chelonoidis nigra) in the highlands of Santa Cruz Island. We also measured the baby tortoises that are part of the Charles Darwin Research Center's Breeding Program. The data is collected over time to determine the ages of the wild giant tortoises.

In order for Ciriaco and Primitiva to get her children’s birth certificate, they had to walk about two days to get to the closest municipality, Santa Maria. When Li was five years old, she yearned for a doll because her father would not buy toys for the children only what it was necessary.
