The writer, Sandeep Chakravorty (35) is a member of the Indian Foreign Service, presently stationed in Bogotá, Colombia. Is alumnus of the Indian Institute of Forest Management (IIFM), Bhopal. Formerly was with the Society for Promotion of Wastelands Development (SPWD), New Delhi. He is a active NIEPian and a prominent member of our group. Our members can log on to ask further questions to him on Galápagos National Park, a major Eco-Tourism destination.
