Welcome to the Galápagos Islands task force of WikiProject Ecuador! The task force coordinators include TShilo12 (talk).

Users who may be interested in the task force edit
Project divisions edit
- Assessment (talk) — Assessing articles and other Galápagos Islands-related pages
- Human geography (talk) — Settlements, political entities
- Physical geography (talk)— Regions, parks, climate, physical features
- History (talk) — history of Galápagos Islands, both historic and prehistoric
The above should be merged into one or more sections on political geography, due to the fact that it is not feasible to compare the Galapagos Islands with other archipelago's, because of their small number of people, relative lack of an economy, etc. The main focus of the task force should be the conservation, wildlife, etc. --Pico del Teide 12:05, 9 April 2009 (UTC)
- I shortened down the list of categories; hopefully this is an improvement --Balon Greyjoy (talk) 07:50, 8 February 2014 (UTC)
