👏 SUCCESS - after nearly 190 years, the Galápagos Rail has been rediscovered on Floreana Island! 🙌
This rediscovery marks a significant step forward for the Floreana Restoration Project, a collaborative effort between fundacion.jocotoco, charlesdarwinfoundation and parquegalapagos with support from partners including Re:wild.
Invasive species have severely impacted the Galápagos Rail because of their terrestrial lifestyle, making them extremely vulnerable to predators on the ground. By removing invasive species, this project has begun to create a safer environment for species to recover and thrive similar to their populations on Fernandina, Isabela, Pinta, Pinzón, Santa Cruz, and Santiago Islands.
