Protecting Biodiversity in the
Galapagos Islands

The Galapagos Islands are a spectacular natural laboratory, renowned for their endemic biodiversity. Marine iguanas, flightless cormorants, giant tortoises: there is only one Galapagos. 

But much of the unique wildlife in the archipelago is under threat. Invasive species have ravaged wildlife habitat and a rapidly changing climate is further disrupting the natural systems that wildlife relies upon for survival.

In partnership with the Galapagos National Park, EPI’s programs provide local Galapagueño students an opportunity to engage in the critical conservation efforts in their own backyard. By helping scientists and preserving vulnerable ecosystems, EPI inspires these students to protect these islands long into the future.
