Mark first developed a passion for plant science
while serving as an agroforestry volunteer in the U.S. Peace Corps, where he started a reforestation program that brought
iguana ranching and sustainable
land management practices to his site in rural Panama.
And
while Genovesa harbors one of the Galapagos» largest and most diverse bird populations, there are no
land reptiles — with the exception of some very small marine
iguanas.
