VOLUNTEERING PROJECTS IN GALAPAGOS ISLANDS
INTRODUCTION
ETV conservation and education projects are actively collaborating with the programs of conservation and education of the fragile ecosystems of the islands that were designed by the Galapagos National Park. In this way we contribute to the community development of Galapagos in social, cultural and economic aspects to improve their quality of life.
Our goals have been defined in consultation with conservation authorities, and education and social services, in order to achieve specific purposes. These purposes incorporate the ecological balance of the Islands with the social welfare of its inhabitants, and extend well into the future to other populated islands.

The atmosphere here is friendly, fun, there's always something new happening, especially when there are new volunteers. My payoff is a smile and a simple "thank you"
