Galapagos also hosts over 30,000 residents who work, study, and live in this natural paradise. The island communities are crucial in determining the future of these lands. Most Galapagos residents are dependent on terrestrial and marine resources to survive.
Environmental education is the common thread that unites the community in its efforts to protect and conserve.
Galapagos Conservancy is deeply committed to the cause and spearheads an education program on sustainability that will change perspectives and actions for present and future generations. Over 7,000 students can learn from 450 educators who are trained in sustainability pedagogy about their role in protecting these islands. Environmental education is not limited to the classroom. It permeates every home, street and pathway. Conservation becomes a part of the fabric of daily life.

It supports local projects and initiatives that aim to pioneer the protection of this unique eco-system. This community collaboration, which includes 135 projects on the islands, serves as a link between the locals and their natural heritage.
