520 The Galápagos archipelago is often viewed as a last
foothold of pristine nature. For sixty years,
conservationists have worked to restore this evolutionary
Eden after centuries of exploitation at the hands of
pirates, whalers, and island settlers. This book tells the
story of the islands' namesakes--the giant tortoises--as
coveted food sources, objects of natural history, and
famous icons of conservation and tourism. By doing so, it
brings into stark relief the paradoxical, and impossible,
goal of conserving species by trying to restore a past
state of prehistoric evolution. The tortoises, Elizabeth
Hennessy demonstrates, are not prehistoric, but rather
microcosms whose stories show how deeply human and
nonhuman life are entangled. In a world where evolution is
thoroughly shaped by global history, Hennessy puts forward
a vision for conservation based on reckoning with the past,
rather than trying to erase it
