How Galapagos Travel Center Supports Conservation and Communities
Everything we do impacts the environment around us, so in collaboration with local and international organizations, Galapagos Travel Center is committed to sustainability, conservation, and building community efforts. In doing our part, we have created three pillars of sustainability:
When choosing to travel with us, you are supporting these efforts as well; you are helping the Galapagos Islands live on for future generations.
Galapagos Travel Center's 100% carbon-neutral initiative is possible through the partnership with the Jocotoco Conservation Foundation and the Buenaventura Protected Reserve. This foundation promotes reforestation and conservation efforts that offsets greenhouse gas emissions. For every passenger that travels with us, we offset 1.5 tons of CO2.
In partnering with the Galapagos Conservancy and the Giant Tortoises Protection Project, the focus is to preserve the iconic giant tortoise population. This project helps recover ecosystems and supports conservation research. By traveling with us, you are protecting 1 Galapagos giant tortoise.
In partnership with the World Sustainability Foundation (WSF), which plays a significant role in promoting biodiversity conservation and community support, Galapagos Travel Center has curated an exclusive trip to raise funds for conservation efforts.
