The amazing diversity of wildlife in Galapagos is what makes the Archipelago so special. The Islands are situated at the meeting point of several oceanic currents, creating a unique array of habitats. Animals like the Marine Iguana, Giant Tortoise, Galapagos Penguin, and Darwin's Finches only exist on these islands!
Galapagos Conservation Trust was launched in 1995 and is the only UK-registered charity to focus exclusively on the conservation and sustainable development of the Galapagos Archipelago. We deliver programmes that fill gaps in scientific and socioeconomic knowledge, fund local scientists, NGOs and community groups, and partner with Ecuadorian authorities. We advocate for change to protect the wildlife of Galapagos, while amplifying the local voices of Galapagos across the UK and beyond.
