Since 1965, the Giant Tortoise Breeding Centers of the Galápagos National Park have been essential for the conservation of this species. They have successfully produced more than 10,000 juvenile tortoises for release into the wild. This initiative not only helps revitalize our ecosystems but also demonstrates a concrete commitment to conserving the biodiversity of Galápagos
Caring for Thousands of Juevenile Tortoise
Every year, our breeding centers care for and protect thousands of young tortoises, allowing these iconic creatures to thrive. Tortoises play a vital role in maintaining ecological balance and contribute to the health of both land and marine ecosystems.
Nearly 100% Survival Rate
By implementing strict breeding and release protocols, we achieve nearly a 100% survival rate, significantly accelerating population recovery. This success reflects the dedication and commitment of our conservation team, who work tirelessly to create the best possible conditions for each tortoise.
Long-term Impact
Adopting a tortoise is more than just a way to get involved; it is an investment in the future of the Galápagos Archipelago. Each tortoise returned to the wild signifies progress toward recovering giant tortoise populations, which are essential for maintaining ecosystem health. Moreover, your support helps promote education and awareness about the importance of biodiversity conservation, both in Galápagos and around the globe..
Adopt a Giant Tortoise and Make a Difference for Galápagos
By symbolically adopting a tortoise from our breeding centers, you create a lasting connection with an endangered species while making a meaningful contribution to its conservation. As an adopter, you can name your tortoise and receive updates on its growth and well-being. Your support helps fund their care, habitat preservation, and eventual release, contributing to the survival of this remarkable species.
