How Can I Support Galapagos Research and Conservation?
Our lab's work in the Galapagos Islands depends on the generosity of donors who share our commitment to protecting this extraordinary ecosystem. Every contribution — large or small — directly funds the science and the people behind it.
Where Your Donation Goes?
Donations support all aspects of our lab and field work, including:
Sponsor a Species
Donors can choose to direct their support toward a specific species in our research program. Your contribution funds a defined piece of real research, from field data collection to genome sequencing, for the species you choose.
$10,000 funds a complete genome for one species — including the fieldwork required to collect the sample: transportation, field equipment, and the local field students who help carry it out.
