In the same way, the high percentage of unique species, their dramatic changes during the cycles of "El Niño" - "The Niña", and the abundance of other species like sharks, marine wolves, seals furriers, marine turtles, among others. With this declaration, the Government of Ecuador commits to conserve the wealth of this region so valued by the country and the world, and to assure that the economic use of this area is sustainable and harmonic with the conservation. At the same time, the reflective declaration of World Patrimony commits the international community to support the conservation of the Galapagos.

Galapagos Marine Reserve was created hardly 3 years ago. The decisions, actions and investments in this first decade of their existence will determine if the Reserve becomes the most important protected marine area in the planet. Their high biodiversity and the existence of different ecosystems would allow that this happens. The Ecuadorian Government's first step was to promulgate the Law of Special Régime for the Galapagos province getting together the marine and terrestrial reserve of Galapagos. Another important step in this year was the attainment of a loan of the Interamerican Bank of Development (IDB) that includes US $6 millions to strengthen the handling capacities and investigation of the Reserve. To the moment, we conclude the year with a momentous step, as it is the appointment of the Reservation Marina like Patrimony of the Humanity.
