Since its inception in 1971, our Scholarship Program has enabled over 250 students from Galapagos to complete their education and pursue careers in conservation.

A look back at the origins of the Charles Darwin Foundation and the key role of Cristóbal Bonifaz in shaping science and conservation in Galápagos, and how the recovery of his archives reconnects us with that shared legacy.

From the Galapagos, the Charles Darwin Foundation issues a science-driven manifesto to UNOC 3 delegates, pressing for robust global policies that conserve marine biodiversity, stop IUU fishing, enforce sustainable tourism, and spark regenerative blue economies that secure ocean health and human prosperity.

The Charles Darwin Research Station is open Monday-Sunday, from 08:00 to 18:00 (including public holidays). Come visit us in the heart of Galapagos!
