On Floreana, terrestrial invertebrates act as indicators of ecological recovery and as food for insectivorous birds. Monitoring them in protected and agricultural areas helps track habitat changes, detect invasive species, and assess whether the ecosystem is ready to support the reintroduction of animals that once disappeared locally from the island.

Ornithologist Juan Manuel Carrión shares his perspective on the Galápagos as the world's greatest living laboratory for understanding evolution. In this interview, he discusses endemic birds, the contributions of Peter and Rosemary Grant, the potential of birdwatching tourism, and the Charles Darwin Foundation's role in conservation and scientific capacity building.
For the first time, the Charles Darwin Foundation opens Galápagos’ largest scientific collections to the public. Housing over 137,000 specimens, this new facility offers a rare glimpse into the science shaping conservation decisions and safeguarding one of the planet’s most extraordinary ecosystems.
Meet CDF entemologist Karen Vera who talks about her work in the field and how it contributes to the restoration of Galapagos ecosystems.
Discover how Galápagos waters fuel Ecuador’s economy and fight climate change. A groundbreaking study by CDF and partners reveals the immense value of marine ecosystems—from carbon-storing mangroves to booming tourism and fishing industries. Learn why protecting these waters is essential for sustainable development and global conservation efforts.
