How is Galapagos 6 mths after losing UNESCO endangered status?

In July 2010, UNESCO voted that the Galapagos islands would lose its endangered status as it was considered properly protected by the Ecudorian government. The BBC/Lonely Planet has an article out questioning whether the decision to remove the endangered status was premature. I wonder if they took into consideration the fishing of sharks etc. That seems to be off the table as far as I can see, which is a pity.
