    For the survival of native and

 endemic species

                                                        of Galapagos

Galapagos animals have evolved so isolated from human beings that they are still not afraid of people.

Their protection is vital to ensuring this genetic world heritage, and main attraction of the islands.

The first conservation efforts in Galapagos history occurred in the 1930s, with the request to the Ecuadorian state to protect some of the most representative species of the archipelago, to avoid their extinction. Today, this purpose is as important as ever.
