2. The first months
In 2014, the Charles Darwin Foundation, the
Galapagos National Park Directorate, and the San
Diego Zoo collaborated to rear and resettle fifteen
captive reared mangrove finches in their native habitat.
This represents a 25% increase in their population, as
the hatchlings would likely have perished otherwise.
This would not have been possible without the support
of SOS Save Our Species, Galapagos Conservancy,
and The Leona M. and Harry B. Helmsley Charitable
Trust.
Here is a photo-journal of their first
months.
