Charles Darwin Foundation Ambassador Program

CDF Ambassadors

Our Ambassadors are a community of passionate individuals, committed to supporting the Foundation's mission: to safeguard the Galapagos Islands—our planet’s most extraordinary natural treasure—through science and conservation action.
CDF Ambassadors play a vital role, harnessing their passion, network and reach to raise awareness, mobilize resources, and foster global support for the sustainable future of Galapagos and all the incredible species that inhabit these one-of-a-kind ecosystems.

Aligning your passion with ours

Our Ambassadors are passionate advocates that volunteer their time to enact lasting change for Galapagos and the world. Like us, they are united in their vision that if we can protect Galapagos, we can impact the world – inspiring others around the world to protect our planet’s fragile biodiversity, and ultimately protect our home.

They do so by raising awareness and rallying support for our mission, while tailoring their involvement to their unique passions and skillsets.
