President of the World Wide Fund for Nature. 
No. 49 
When the Duke of Edinburgh paid the first of his three visits to the Galapagos Islands in 1964, he 
was immediately impressed by their extraordinary natural riches but at the same time deeply concerned 
about the dangers that threatened their unique ecosystems. He wrote in "Wildlife Crisis" (1970): 
"Perhaps the most fascinating expedition of all was a four-day 
visit to the Galapagos Islands, forever associated with Darwin's 
great work, the Mecca of naturalists and a veritable paradise for 
bird - and animal - photographers. It is here above aJJ that the 
whole problem of conservation becomes most obvious".
