Species Conservation on the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador

We welcome you to join collaborative efforts alongside the dedicated Galapagos National Park team to safeguard the rich biodiversity of this extraordinary region.

You will work side by side with park rangers, conservationists, and volunteers to promote species protection measures on Isabela Island by engaging in one or both of the following projects:

1. Tortoise Breeding Centre: Join forces with the Galapagos National Park team at the Tortoise Breeding Centre. Assist park rangers in the essential care of adult tortoises and hatchlings, ensuring their safe growth and daily care. Engage with visitors, share information on conservation efforts and learn about the vital role that they play in this delicate ecosystem.

2. Sea Turtle Conservation: Dive into hands-on conservation work by participating in beach patrols dedicated to protecting sea turtle nesting sites. Gather valuable nesting data, mark nests for follow-up monitoring, and contribute to the preservation of their threatened habitat. Beyond patrols, lend a hand in beach cleanup efforts, removing invasive plants, and combating erosion to safeguard the precious environment where sea turtles thrive. This project only takes place from January to May, which should be taken into account when planning.

Prepare yourself for an unforgettable adventure, and let us guide you through your volunteer service! Discover new ways of life, learn more about conservation, and create memories on the famous Galapagos Islands that will last a lifetime!
