If after reading Shipped you happen to feel inspired to contribute to conservation efforts in the Galápagos, two organizations doing vital work are the Charles Darwin Foundation (www.darwinfoundation.org) and Galapagos Conservancy (www.galapagos.org), among others.
I'd like to add one more recommendation to this list post-COVID-19 in case it's of interest to anyone: The Galapagos Island Relief Fund (islandrelief.fund).
More than 80% of the Galapagos economy is dependent on tourism, and when the pandemic halted travel for 15+ months in March 2020, it devastated the local economy. To help, the Galapagos Island Relief Fund was formed, partnering with local bank FUNCAVID to provide support to the people and wildlife of Galapagos.
If you feel moved to help, check out islandrelief.fund and consider making a contribution today...and perhaps consider picking the Galapagos Islands for your next travel adventure! You won't regret it ;-)
