UK ASB volunteers traveling to San Cristóbal, Ecuador, an island of the Galapagos, will work through UBelong. This organization is founded “to advance international development efforts and promote cross-cultural understanding.” In San Cristóbal, exotic and invasive species like blackberry bushes, fire ants, and wild pigs affect the indigenous biodiversity of the island. Participants will remove foreign species while supporting local agriculture to reduce the current need for fruit and vegetable imports.
