Tourists arrive at Santa Cruz in the Galapagos Islands May 9, 2009. Tourism and the burgeoning population of workers to attend to the industry are part of the problem that the Ecuadorean government is working hard to solve after the UNESCO put the Islands on a list of unique natural sites in danger, threatening to take the archipelago off the World Heritage list.
