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

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.
