Assessing Galapagos endemic Lichens for the Global Fungal Red List Initiative:
For almost ten years the Charles Darwin Foundation for the Galapagos Islands has worked on a species inventory of lichens, a neglected, yet highly diverse group of organisms. Our project now focuses on assessing the conservation status of endemic lichen species in the archipelago, working on the first IUCN red-list of Galapagos Lichens.

Conservation of threatened fungi in Chile.
Our objective is measure the impacts of harvesting on the mycelium, and determine whether different harvesting techniques can play an important role for the survival of Boletus loyo. Also, educate the people of the indigenous communities so they harvest correctly and respectfully towards the species through teaching them what fungi are, and which endangered species live in their forests.

The goal of this pilot study was to assess the impact of habitat destruction on parental care behaviors in San Martin titi monkeys. Level of habitat destruction was determined by habitat connectivity, fruit availability, and intensity of exposure to human activity. Parental care was negatively correlated with level of habitat destruction.

This project aims at reducing the loss of genetic diversity of the critically endangered Floreana Mockingbird on the islets of Champion and Gardner. This will be achieved in the Phase II of the project which includes a reciprocal translocation of eggs/chicks between remnant populations onto foster nests. We also develop capacity among field staff to monitor Floreana mockingbirds.
