and members of the Wildlife Worldwide team at the 2nd Annual Festival of Wildlife to be held
onboard the M/V Santa Cruz in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador from 2nd to 10th April 2005.

Join us for a unique series of talks, presentations, masterclasses and workshops from these renowned wildlife experts in one of the world's finest wildlife locations. The Galapagos Islands, off Ecuador's Pacific Coast, originated from undersea volcanic activity, six million years ago. In 1835 the young Charles Darwin visited the islands and discovered this "living laboratory" which inspired his writings on the Theory of Evolution. Many of the animals on the Galapagos Islands have developed into different species from their continental relatives, and because they have never experienced man as a predator, they show no fear of humans.

Swim with sea lions, observe both Land, and Marine iguanas, snorkel with sea turtles and amongst beautiful tropical fish, sit with Giant Tortoises, and watch the amusing mating dance on the Blue-footed Boobies.

Hear John Craven talk about wildlife journalism, and Jonathan and Angela Scott recount tales of their travels and photographic trips. Learn about underwater photography and marine wildlife from Mark Carwardine , join award winning television producer Christopher Ralling for tips on wildlife film-making and hear about the life and travels of Charles Darwin.

David Back will teach you how to get stunning wildlife images, and you will gain useful painting from acclaimed wildlife artist Jonathan Truss . Eclipse expert Prof John Parkinson will be onboard to teach you more about the stunning night sky and the "hybrid eclipse", plus Wanderlust Editor Lyn Hughes will be sharing her top travel writing tips, and finally, hear Darwin family anecdotes from Randal Keynes .
