Some 510 finches from five species were released on Floreana Island as part
of a nature restoration programme, according to Ecuador’s Ministry of the
Environment.
A flock of finches, the birds famously studied by Charles Darwin in his theory
of evolution, have been reintroduced to an area of the Galapagos Islands.
Since 2023 experts have been working to eradicate introduced species which have
caused the disappearance of numerous native species, paving the way for
ecological restoration.
"This is a very special day,” says Eliécer Cruz, Spokesman for the Jocotoco
Conservation Foundation.
“Maintaining viable population percentages in case of unforeseen circumstances
is the Floreana Project’s most important mitigation measure."
