The Marine Bird Conservation Program combines science and passion to protect one of the rarest penguin species on Earth. By studying population trends, survival rates, and behavior, researchers at the Charles Darwin Foundation (CDF) use innovative methods like photo identification and PIT-tags to monitor individuals with minimal disturbance. This research not only deepens our understanding of these endangered birds but also highlights their role as indicators of marine ecosystem health. With fewer than 2,000 individuals left, urgent conservation actions are needed. Join the effort—adopt a penguin and support their protection!

Galapagos Research (formerly Noticias de Galápagos) is the research journal of the Charles Darwin Foundation for the Galapagos Islands.

The Floreana Ecological Restoration Project in the Galapagos aims to recover biodiversity by removing invasive species, restoring habitats, and reintroducing native wildlife. Led by a multi-institutional team, including CDF, the initiative combines scientific research and community involvement to ensure long-term ecological recovery and sustainability for both wildlife and the local community.
