The Galápagos Islands face a growing threat from invasive species that endanger native biodiversity. Classical biological control, using natural enemies to regulate these species, offers a sustainable and safe way to restore ecological balance and protect this unique ecosystem.

Galápagos faces increasing tourism pressures that threaten its unique ecosystems. This report reviews seven international case studies to identify effective visitor-management tools—such as quotas, zoning, monitoring, and community engagement—and evaluates their relevance for Galápagos.

New DNA research reveals that Galápagos Vermilion Flycatchers are not one species, but a mosaic of long-isolated island lineages. By uncovering hidden genetic diversity, scientists are reshaping conservation priorities and taxonomic understanding—find out how evolution, extinction, and restoration efforts intersect across the archipelago.
