Galapagos Conservancy leads the effort to identify what it means to be sustainable in one of the world’s most remarkable ecosystems: the Galapagos Islands. For more than 35 years, we have focused exclusively on the archipelago and its inhabitants, engaging and funding an extensive international network of top tier scientists and researchers working together to fully explore all that it takes to preserve, protect, and restore this special environment. A living laboratory of evolution, the Galapagos Islands provide an extraordinary opportunity to create an integrated ecosystem where the needs of humans are balanced with biodiversity conservation, providing a blueprint for the rest of our planet.
