Knights of the Miconia
Students from the School of Journalism and Communication and Environmental Studies after working with Galapagos National Park officials to eradicate invasive mora (blackberry) and restore the land above El Junco lake with endemic miconia bushes (behind the group).
The students are part of an on-going SOJC summer program, "Environmental Writing in the Galapagos," directed by SOJC Associate Professor Carol Ann Bassett. UNESCO declared the Galapagos endangered as a World Heritage Site June 22, 2007, the same day the students arrived in Ecuador.
