The Galàpagos

The islands of the Galàpagos offer an almost unmatched biodiverse environment for scientists and naturalists alike to closely study evolution, ecology and natural history. With a relationship dating back to 1905, the California Academy of Sciences has and continues to work through its collections and research from the islands and its scientific/conservation partners. Ecuador and the Galàpagos archipelago’s commitment to regenerative science and management serves as a model for what natural spaces can look like when we put conservation into practice.

Join Dr. Jack Dumbacher, Curator of Ornithology and Mammalogy and Master Bird Instructor, to hear more about these amazing islands, the state of today’s science, and how that science is contributing to conservation and regeneration of one of the best-preserved island archipelagos in the world.?
