The Galapagos Rail had not been seen on this island since Charles Darwin's visit to the archipelago in 1835, until now.

🔊 GALAPAGOS GUESSING GAME: Guess The Sound Did you guess correctly? Did you know the Galápagos originally had no native frogs? This is the Fowler's Snouted Treefrog (Scinax quinquefasciatus), an introduced species now spreading in the islands. Scientists are studying its impact to help protect endemic wildlife. 📷: Rashid Cruz/CDF, Camilo Cruz/CDF, Mara Speece/CDF #GuessThatSound #WorldFrogDay #Galapagos #InvasiveSpecies #ConservationScience #ProtectBiodiversity #NatureShorts #Conservation #CharlesDarwin #CharlesDarwinFoundation #FundacionCharlesDarwin #Albatross #CDF #FCD

This #Throwback Thursday takes us back to Günter Reck’s first moments in Galápagos—an arrival that shaped his life and conservation work. From serving as Executive Director in the 80s to becoming a current General Assembly member, he reflects on Galápagos then and now.

#GalapagosIslands #EvolutionaryBiology #SpeciesFormation What Darwin Found Convincing in Galápagos. In this recorded webinar, Professor William H. Durham of Stanford University examines the key observations—especially of the Galápagos mockingbirds—that pushed Darwin to rethink species stability and inspired his early ideas about evolution. #GalapagosIslands #EvolutionaryBiology #SpeciesFormation #CharlesDarwinFoundation #ScienceForConservation #GalapagosResearch #WebinarRecording

🗣️ Conversamos con María José Barragán, Directora de Ciencias de la @charlesdarwinfoundation, Miembro sudamericano de UICN. Conoce cuál es su línea de trabajo y qué los motivó a ser parte de la Unión. Además entérate las mociones que apoyaron y qué oportunidades y prioridades podemos divisar luego del #iucncongress 2025. 🌎🤝 🌿

Why is Galapagos so good at making new species… and sometimes not? 🐢🦎 In this recorded webinar, Professor William H. Durham of Stanford University unpacks the evolutionary forces that shape life in the Galapagos. Discover why some species diversify quickly while others remain unchanged for centuries. 🎥 Watch now to explore the science behind one of the world’s most iconic natural laboratories. #GalapagosIslands #EvolutionaryBiology #SpeciesFormation #CharlesDarwinFoundation #ScienceForConservation #GalapagosResearch #WebinarRecording
