Our expedition started today with one of the most important visits of the week. We visited the Charles Darwin Station, and we learned about some of the projects that they are running these days to support the ecology, flora, and fauna of the islands. One of the most famous projects is the Giant Tortoise Breeding Center. Here is where the baby giant tortoises are born in captivity and after 5-7 years at the center, they are repatriated to their home island. With the right support, we are trying to recover the population of those species in the Galapagos Islands. Some guests decided to donate and support those projects, and in return, as a present for their donation, they chose an item like a hat, t-shirt, jacket, water bottle, or a book. We felt that it was a win-win situation.
