Over the next decade the initiative also aims to restore 25 islands and protect at least 30 per cent of each country’s waters, halt and reverse the decline of more than 250 globally threatened species, double the areas under effective protection and management, contribute to the development of resilient, sustainable economies for local people, and develop the capacity of regional restoration ecologists and protected area personnel. It will also be used to strengthen measures protecting Galápagos's marine resources to improve the natural capital of ecotourism, a critical component of the Galápagueño and Ecuadorian economy. It will also pay to implement a captive breeding program and other activities to prevent the extinction of the pink iguana, which lives on an active volcano on Isabela Island that could potentially wipe out the remaining 300 individuals with a single eruption. The $43million will fund several Galápagos projects including efforts to restore Floreana Island, home to 54 threatened species, and reintroduce 13 locally extinct species including the Floreana mockingbird – the first mockingbird described by Charles Darwin. Paula A Castaño examines a Floreana racer snake. “We need catalytic investments like the one announced today to replicate our successes in the Galápagos and elsewhere.”

We know how to prevent these extinctions and restore functional and thriving ecosystems-we have done it-but we need to replicate these successes, innovate and go to scale,” Castaño said.
Galápagos’s pink iguanas, Floreana mockingbirds and other wildlife may soon be lost forever without action. “Time is running out for so many species, especially on islands where their small populations are vulnerable and threatened.
