The Charles Darwin Research Station is home to the largest Natural History Collections of endemic, native and introduced species of the Galapagos Islands in Ecuador. It is also one of the largest in the world with over 135,000 specimens from more than 7,500 species.

Ecological restoration requires a clear understanding of existing biodiversity.

Over 15,000 specimens were collected from both agricultural areas and National Park land.
