Proceeds from this event will help to fund our conservation work in Galapagos
Biodiversity loss is one of the biggest environmental threats that we face today, and constitutes a global crisis that needs to be tackled with the same urgency as climate change. Galapagos is one of the most unique, scientifically important biodiversity hotspots on Earth, yet even here more than 80 species are now listed as either Critically Endangered or Endangered. Though the Islands may appear pristine, they are threatened by climate change, invasive species, overfishing, urbanisation and plastic pollution.
Galapagos Conservation Trust is dedicated to the conservation of the Galapagos Islands. For over 25 years we have protected biodiversity, restored habitats and saved endangered species from extinction by raising funds and awareness, and by delivering ground-breaking, impactful conservation projects. We are supporting partners to investigate wildlife health, such as that of the iconic Galapagos giant tortoise; undertaking vital research to ensure the effective management of the new Hermandad Marine Reserve; and restoring habitats on islands such as Floreana, which will be the first inhabited island in Galapagos to have rats and feral cats eradicated.
At Galapagos Day 2022 we will explore the threats to biodiversity in Galapagos, and we will hear directly from experts working at the cutting edge of science to save species ranging from giant tortoises to woodpecker finches.
Speakers will include:
Monty Halls (host)
Dr Ainoa Nieto Claudín, researcher, wildlife veterinarian and laboratory manager of the Charles Darwin Research Station.
Paula Castaño, wildlife veterinarian at Island Conservation.
