The Galapagos Conservation Trust (GCT) is a British conservation charity (registered number 1043470) which focuses on saving animals at risk of extinction on the Galapagos Islands.[1] It is a member of the Friends of Galapagos Organisations (also known as the Darwin Network).[2] It was launched in 1995 at the Royal Society in London. The charity fundraises to support pioneering conservation projects in the Islands, and raise awareness of Galapagos conservation both in the UK and in Ecuador to ensure the unique flora and fauna on the Islands are preserved.
Ambassadors for the charity include Liz Bonnin, Stanley Johnson, Henry Nicholls, Sarah Darwin, Monty Halls, the late Dr Godfrey Merlen, Randal Keynes, Julian Fitter, Angela Darwin, Jennifer Stone, Dr Antje Steinfurth, Nigel Sitwell, Dorothy Latsis and Sir James Barlow.[3] Of these, Barlow, Sarah Darwin and Keynes are descended from Charles Darwin – Angela Darwin is a Darwin by marriage (she is the widow of George Pember Darwin, son of Charles Galton Darwin).
