Charles Darwin Foundation Galapagos Islands

This organisation may not be a traditional think tank. We have included it in this list as we deem it to be a 'boundary' organisation – in other words, it might have some qualities or characterstics of a think tank.

The Charles Darwin Foundation works on scientific research to conserve the #Galapagos Islands. Its Research Station is the only one in the archipelago.
