After 1964 the CDRS required approval to collect, while public conservation talk still blamed locals and invasives.

Key findings

Before the station, scientists took what they wanted. After 1964, access needed approval. Locals sometimes suspected scientists did most of the killing. Even ticks in rubber soles threatened island biotic integrity.

Methodology

Lindee uses station politics, IUCN appeals, and Noticias-era complaints to show diplomatic control of entitled visitors.

Limitations

This is an institutional history of scientific conduct, not an ecology paper measuring tortoise recovery.
