Charles Darwin Research Station

We spent part of yesterday at the Charles Darwin Research Station, an organization that in trying to conserve the Galapagos tortoise. Before seeing the tortoises, we spoke to the education outreach person, Sandra Tapia. She shared with us a pilot program they are doing with schools on Santa Cruz. By providing environmental lessons and activities, they hope that the students will maintain an interest in the natural environment, learn to solve environmental problems, and develop environmental values and ethics.

After our meeting, we walked around the research station with our naturalist guide, Morris Garcia. He explained the work being done at the research station. I thought you should meet Morris and listen to him as he explains some of the work being done at the Charles Darwin Research Station.
