Galapagos green sea turtles are particularly affected by boat propeller accidents. By adopting a turtle, you’re helping us develop models that will assist authorities in setting safer speed limits for boats. This not only safeguards sea turtles but also protects other marine wildlife. Your support also fuels vital research that will help authorities improve tourism practices, and ensure these charismatic animals and their habitats remain healthy.

Ecologically, the ocean is one interconnected system. Yet international law has divided it into arbitrary maritime zones based on geopolitical interests. Our research seeks to improve transnational ocean governance and conservation outcomes in the Eastern Tropical Pacific, through collaboration with scientists, academics, practitioners, and decision-makers.

More than half of the endemic plant species in Galapagos are currently classified as threatened. The potential loss of these imperiled species not only disrupts ecosystem integrity, but also jeopardizes the survival of iconic native fauna that depend on it. We are updating the IUCN Red List of endangered plant species of Galapagos in order to enable targeted species conservation actions.
