Our story

Founded with
a clear purpose.

Galápagos for Life was founded with a clear purpose: to help protect the unique ecosystems of the islands.

Our mission is to clean the islands, save the paradise. We want to protect these tiny but unique ecosystems for future generations.

02

Recycle

Materials are sorted and given a second life.

Plastic bottles become cord and glass bottles become beads, which together make a Galápagos for Life bracelet
