Floreana Island has been negatively impacted by human activity since the early eighteen hundreds. Explorers, pirates, and first colonizers brought with them domestic animals, which later became a big problem for the native and endemic flora and fauna of this Island. For the last decade the Galapagos National Park has been restoring the island, and hopefully by 2025 we will have giant tortoises, mega prickly pear cacti, and hopefully mockingbirds, all of them endemic to this Island.
