Ecos Foundation

REIMAGINING CONSERVATION
THROUGH EDUCATION

We are a 100% local Galápagos nonprofit dedicated to building the next generation of planetary guardians.
Through experiential learning and citizen science, we bridge the gap between global knowledge and local action.

*Under an agreement with the Galapagos National Park and the ECOS Foundation, our students participate in the Giant Tortoise Monitoring Program.

The Crisis is Real.
The Solution is Education.

The global sustainability crisis requires us to rethink our relationship with nature. At ECOS, we don’t just teach; we transform.

We use the Galápagos as a living laboratory to turn students into active guardians of the planet.

LEARN. EXPLORE. MULTIPLY.

We believe education shouldn't be a privilege. Through our unique 1:3 Impact Model, every international participant enables three local Galápagos students to access the same high-level environmental leadership training.

Acuerdo Galápagos por la Educación

Junto al Ministerio de Educación coordinamos el Acuerdo Galápagos por la Educación (AGE), un colectivo público privado que busca la mejora educativa continua en las islas, a través de la articulación y la creación de política pública.

Escenarios vivenciales de aprendizaje

Galápagos proporciona un ambiente único para el aprendizaje fuera del aula. Los EVA proporcionan múltiples oportunidades para hacer del aprendizaje más relevante y duradero con el poder de la experiencia. Esto se puede lograr mediante la exposición de los estudiantes a nuevos entornos o de la interacción con expertos o personas de la comunidad que pueden ofrecer un aprendizaje nuevo. Diseñamos EVA como recurso de apoyo a los docentes.
