Galapagos Conservancy
The Galapagos Conservancy is a U.S.-based nonprofit organization dedicated exclusively to the long-term protection and restoration of the Galapagos Islands. Founded in 1985, it is the only U.S. organization focused solely on this unique ecosystem.
Mission and Work
The Conservancy aims to address the major threats facing the Galapagos, including invasive species, climate change, overfishing, and habitat degradation. It partners with local communities, the Galapagos National Park Directorate, and other conservation organizations to implement effective conservation strategies.
Key Initiatives
-
Species Conservation: The organization works to save endangered species, such as the Pink Iguanas, Galapagos Penguins, Sea Lions, and Whale Sharks. It supports numerous projects to protect these species from extinction.
-
Ecosystem Rewilding: The Conservancy engages in initiatives to restore the natural balance of the Galapagos ecosystems. This includes eradicating invasive predators and rewilding Giant Tortoises, crucial for maintaining terrestrial ecosystems.
-
Marine Protection: Efforts focus on strengthening marine protection by expanding reserve areas and supporting research on sustainable fishing practices. Additionally, it works to restore coral reefs affected by human impacts and climate change.
-
Community Engagement: The Conservancy fosters sustainability by training local teachers to integrate conservation into school curricula and by supporting eco-friendly entrepreneurship initiatives, especially those led by women.
Impact and Efficiency
The organization invests substantially in direct conservation actions and grants for its partners. It is known for its efficient use of resources, with a significant portion allocated to conservation activities.
Historical Context
Despite conflicting information about the founding date, with some sources indicating 1964 as a foundational year for another related group, the Galapagos Conservancy as it is recognized today was established in 1985. It has played a critical role in conserving the Galapagos' unique biodiversity.
Membership and Collaboration
The Galapagos Conservancy is a member of the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), which enhances its global influence in conservation policy and collaboration.

Every life in Galápagos tells a story. 💚 From the tortoise that reshapes its environment with its slow steady steps, to the albatross that crosses oceans to return home each mating season. Every animal helps the islands breathe and thrive. On this World Animal Day, we celebrate the wildlife that defines Galápagos, and everyone who helps protect it. Thank you for helping us safeguard one of the world’s greatest treasures. 📸 GC, Daniel Fitter #WorldAnimalDay #ProtectGalapagos #GalapagosConservancy #ConservationInAction (fb)
More than a scientist, Dr. Jane Goodall was a trailblazer who redefined how science connects with the world. She transformed the study of primates into a global conversation about biodiversity, conservation, and our shared responsibility to protect life on Earth. Her belief that the future of our planet rests with the young people who inherit it continues to shape our mission. Guided by her courage, persistence, and joy, we carry this vision forward in Galápagos, protecting unique species and empowering local communities. 💚 Thank you, Jane Goodall, for showing us the way. #JaneGoodall #ProtectGalapagos #ConservationLegacy (fb)
