Floreana itself has several endemic species - species of plants and animals that only exist there. Unfortunately, Floreana's unique wildlife has suffered over the last two centuries. Some species were hunted out, while others succumbed to introduced invasive predators.

From the Galápagos: Turning Dreams into Conservation Realities

The Galápagos Islands are a global treasure trove of natural wonders. They serve as an invaluable living laboratory for studying evolution, both on land and in the sea. Jocotoco recently helped establish and create a management plan for the La Hermandad Marine Reserve, which links the Galapagos with the Cocos Island in Costa Rica, formally designated in 2022. This marine reserve helps protect a route for migratory marine species like sharks and sea turtles.
