  • Description

    Since inspiring Charles Darwin's theory of evolution, these islands have gone from an uninhabited island chain to a global hub of eco-tourism. This human invasion has caused a great need for the preservation of both land and sea. Lifeworks-Galapagos lends its hands to a variety of causes devoted to the conservation of these beautiful islands.

    The Galapagos consist of more than 100 islands located off the coast of Ecuador. This once-lonely island group is one of the most biologically important places on earth. We are the only teen community service group associated with the Galapagos, working directly with the parks.
