Cuando oí hablar por primera vez del proyecto de restauración de Floreana, pocos meses después de empezar como Directora Ejecutiva de la Fundación Charles Darwin (FCD) allá por 2021, recuerdo que me sentí atónita.

El rascón de las Galápagos, un ave secreta que se creía extinguida en Floreana, se ha encontrado en la isla por primera vez desde que Charles Darwin lo observara en 1835.

Our April webinar focused on the restoration of Floreana, with Jeff Dawson of Durrell Wildlife Conservation Trust reporting back from his recent trip to the island.

The remarkable story of the Floreana giant tortoise, a species that the world thought was lost forever.

Five species of Darwin’s finch, which were held safely in captivity during the eradication of invasive species from Floreana, have now been released.

We are supporting one of the most complex eradication projects ever conducted on an inhabited tropical island. To succeed, this groundbreaking project requires local residents' involvement.

Carolina Torres, International Legal and Administrative Manager at GCT partner Island Conservation, reflects on how the Floreana project signals hope for a future where people and nature can thrive together.

Today is the day when the next phase of the restoration of Floreana island begins, as the project moves into the eradication phase, the largest and most complex eradication ever attempted on an inhabited tropical island.
