Abstract | Our future leaders' environmental understanding improves their resource management skills and decision-making capacity. Community awareness and "hands-on" involvement preserves bio-diversity and addresses human impacts. This report discusses the importance of environmental education, and effective learning programs. Quality education in the school system is important, and implementation strategies in the Galapagos are discussed. I was a volunteer in the Colegio Nacional Galapagos (CNG) in 2006, and will address: (1) Increasing natural process understanding to promote more conservation based lifestyles. (2) Conservation understanding, participation, and collaboration to strengthen social organizations and encourage integration and participation in regional conservation programs. (3) Environmental education in the formal education system to change awareness, attitudes, and beneficial actions to promote sustainable fishing practices with and for Galapagenos. Enforcement and scientific research are important, but do not change peoples' political will-- this is done by working developing new visions for the future. [Published in: Wolff, M and Gardener, M.
