On July 22nd we will be pleased to welcome you to our 2022 Open House. In this annual event, we want to share with you in an interactive and dynamic way all the research projects that are part of the Charles Darwin Research Station.
The Charles Darwin Foundation (CDF) carries out this activity as part of its 63rd anniversary of contributing to science and research in Galapagos.
This year, we have prepared a great event and have invited local entrepreneurs and initiatives aligned with the conservation of the islands. We will also have an art space for children.
These are the projects and areas that will be exhibited on this special day:
- Marine Birds
- Fisheries
- Marine Invasive Species
- Tortoise Program
- Terrestrial Invasive Species and Vegetation Mapping
- Galapagos Verde 2050
- Landbirds and Mangrove Finch
- Avian Vampire Fly
- Shark Ecology
- Subtidal Ecological Monitoring
- Sea turtles
- Natural History Collections
- Library
- Volunteers and Scholarships
The presentations will be given by the scientists of each of the projects who will share the results of their research with the attendees. Their stands will be distributed around our Research Station. In addition, we will host a theater play (Acción Nativa), yoga and the participation of the Casa de la Cultura. During the Open House, which will be from 08:00 to 16:00, you will be able to enjoy locally produced food, thanks to the presentation of community enterprises such as Nero, Atún sin Lata, Pan y Salsa, Sweet Baked and 1835 Coffee Lab.
Our Shark Ambassadors Science Club will have a special space of environmental awareness, where they will share the lessons learned during this year.
In the morning, we will be welcoming schools, while in the afternoon, public and private institutions, NGOs, and the general public will be able to visit us, with the aim of enhancing the attendance experience.
Welcome!
