Discover our conservation projects, focused on protecting and preserving the biodiversity of the Galapagos Islands.

LET'S PROTECT THE
HAMMERHEAD SHARKS

Sharks play a crucial role in the health and balance of marine ecosystems. In the Galapagos archipelago, several shark species, including the hammerhead shark (Sphyrna lewini), are listed as endangered by the IUCN, highlighting the urgency of their protection.

The Darwin & Wolf Foundation delves into the depths of the ocean to safeguard hammerhead sharks. By generating funding sources, Darwin & Wolf seeks to support research and monitoring programs that strive to unravel the mysteries of hammerhead shark migration and behavior to protect their nursery grounds, ensuring a future for these majestic creatures, key players in the delicate balance of marine ecosystems.

FIGHTING AGAINST THE
PLASTIC POLLUTION

In the Galapagos, hammerhead sharks are critically endangered. Their role as regulators of marine balance is fundamental, but today they face threats that jeopardize their survival.
At the Darwin and Wolf Foundation, we lead scientific research, satellite monitoring, and actions to protect their breeding grounds.

We collaborate with experts to understand their migration routes and behavioral patterns.

This project is key to preserving the health of the marine ecosystem.
Supporting it is more than conserving a species: it is defending the future of the ocean.

Due to ocean currents, the Galapagos receives tons of marine debris on its coasts. As part of our conservation efforts, the Darwin and Wolf Foundation was able to recover waste thanks to the support of the Santa Cruz Regional Government of the Autonomous Community of Santa Cruz and the Insular Front Foundation. More than 600 plastic bottles, 41,000 glass containers, and 600 meters of fishing net were collected from coastal cleanups and comprehensive solid waste management. These materials were reused to build walls, structures, and artwork within our Flagship Store.
With creativity, community, and purpose, we turn waste into real impact.

In the Galapagos, marine debris suffocates life. The Darwin & Wolf Foundation addresses this threat by promoting recycling and creative reuse of waste, transforming trash into opportunities for conservation and education.

Through cooperation with these initiatives, we seek to promote the recycling and reuse of discarded materials, with the goal of reducing pollution and protecting marine habitats.

Thus, in collaboration with the Decentralized Autonomous Government (GAD) of Santa Cruz, we were able to obtain 600 plastic bottles from coastal cleanups and more than 41,000 glass bottles and containers, representing approximately 12,400 kg of glass from the Fabricio Valverde Environmental Park. Likewise, through support from the Frente Insular Foundation, we obtained more than 600 meters of fishing netting from coastal cleanups carried out on the island. All of this material, after a transformation process, became construction materials, which now form part of the walls, structures, and artwork of the Darwin and Wolf Flagship Store.
