Participating in a project with New Zealand collaborators Chris Gaskin and Karen Baird of Forest & Bird New Zealand the Galápagos National Park from the first day has given unique sights of the islands’ wildlife and natural beauty. Every yard of coastline hosts treasures with seabirds, Galápagos sea lions and marine iguanas sharing their habitat.
