About this organization
Mission
To promote science conservation and environmental education in the Galapagos Islands.
About
Science for conservation - There was good news on the population studies of Galapagos penguins, with the sighting of almost 100 adult penguins and 10 active nests. With GC funds, researchers have collected data on all passerine and most other landbirds on Floreana, San Cristobal and Santa Cruz to develop conservation management plans to reverse the decline in landbird populations as a result of Philornis downsi. GC worked with the Galapagos biosecurity agency to monitor ports and airports in Galapagos and on mainland Ecuador to detect the arrival of new invasive species, including non-native ants.
