Working in Galápagos is more than just a job—it’s a mission, a deep connection to a fragile and unique ecosystem. With 12 years of experience in communication, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing how the collaboration between science and communication is one of the most powerful strategies for conserving this paradise.
In this story, I’ll share one of my most recent field experiences in the Scalesia forest at Los Gemelos, where nature and human effort come together to protect our home.

October 3, 2023, marks the beginning of the implementation phase of the Floreana Ecological Restoration Project, the largest and most ambitious restoration initiative currently underway in the Galapagos Islands.

Ecological restoration requires a clear understanding of existing biodiversity. In 2022, the Charles Darwin Foundation (CDF) and the Galápagos National Park Directorate conducted the first baseline study of invertebrate communities on Floreana Island. Over 15,000 specimens were collected from both agricultural areas and National Park land.

Giant tortoises are emblems of Galapagos. They are critical ecosystem engineers and they are also important for the local economy. Yet all 12 species of Galapagos Giant Tortoises are of conservation concern. Our work focuses on conserving these gentle giants through research and education.

The dataZone is a collection of applications, accesible online or inside the Charles Darwin Research Station, providing access to all the scientific information stored in several databases, product of almost 60 years of research in the Galapagos Islands.
