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.

Floreana Island, heavily impacted by introduced species and biodiversity loss, now hosts one of Galápagos’ most ambitious restoration efforts. With a small community and 54 species still threatened, the Floreana Ecological Restoration Project aims to recover the island’s ecological balance through the removal of invasive species and the return of native wildlife.
