Charles Darwin Foundation

The Charles Darwin Foundation is an organization dedicated to conserving the unique ecosystems of the Galápagos Islands. Established in 1964, it conducts scientific research, environmental education, and conservation projects to protect the islands’ diverse plants, animals, and habitats. The foundation aims to preserve the islands' natural heritage, promote sustainable tourism, and support threatened species like giant tortoises and blue-footed boobies. Through collaboration with governments and local communities, it seeks to ensure that the Galápagos remain a thriving, pristine environment for future generations and continue providing valuable insights into evolution and biodiversity.
