The Foundation operates the Charles Darwin Research Station in the Galapagos Islands to conduct scientific research and environmental education for conservation. The Station has a team of over one hundred scientists, educators, volunteers, research students and support staff from all over the world. The Foundation works under an agreement with and in close contact with the Government of Ecuador to promote Galapagos conservation. The Charles Darwin Foundation is an “Association Internationale Sans But Lucratif” ( aisbl), registered in Belgium and subject to Belgian law.

"The Charles Darwin Foundation exists to provide knowledge and support to ensure the conservation of the environment and biodiversity of the Galapagos Archipelago through scientific research and complementary actions."
Our mission is to conduct scientific research and environmental education about conservation and natural resource management in the Galapagos archipelago and its surrounding Marine Reserve. Scientific research and monitoring projects are conducted at the CDRS in conjunction and cooperation with our chief partner, the Galapagos National Park Service (GNPS), which functions as the principal government authority in charge of conservation and natural resource issues in the Galapagos.
