Sharks that migrate across oceans need global cooperation to survive. The Charles Darwin Foundation has joined the CMS Sharks Memorandum of Understanding as a Cooperating Partner, strengthening science-based conservation from Galápagos to the Eastern Tropical Pacific. Discover how this partnership advances research, policy, and collaboration to protect migratory sharks worldwide.

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.

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.
