The Galapagos Islands are home to some uniquely adapted animal species, including a master of its environment, the marine iguana.

GCT Ambassador, Henry Nicholls, takes a deep dive into the impacts of the El Niño climate phenomenon on the wildlife of Galapagos.

Galapagos is a globally important refuge for marine life, but it’s also a place where people depend on the ocean for their livelihoods, making fisheries management a complex conservation challenge.

Few people have done as much to bring Galapagos to the world as the renowned British broadcaster, naturalist and writer Sir David Attenborough, who celebrates his 100th birthday this week.

Love oceanic manta rays? We’d argue not as much as Professor Diana Pazmiño. We chatted to Diana about her work to protect manta rays and how we can help mantas to live alongside people in harmony.

In the space of just 50 years, the size of wildlife populations worldwide has been falling dramatically. To combat this, there has been a steady increase in species reintroductions.

Join us on a journey of exploration to the Galapagos Islands for this year’s British Science Week and theme ‘Curiosity: what’s your question?’

At our webinar on 3 March, Dr Luis Ortiz-Catedral gave a fascinating insight into the efforts to reintroduce species including the Floreana mockingbird, Floreana racer snake and Galapagos land iguana.

158 giant tortoises have been reintroduced to Floreana, a huge milestone in the restoration of the island, following decades of preparation supported by GCT and many others.

Have you ever wondered what a GCT supporter cruise around the Galapagos Islands is like? We spoke to Holly Shersby, who joined our November 2025 cruise, about her experience.
