Galapagos Wildlife Photo Gallery
Galapagos wildlife photos
show how close photographers can get to these fearless
animals. The islands are
home to many unique animals in a fragile
ecosystem.
Many of the species here are endemic to the Galapagos Islands or even
to just one of the islands. Conservation of these delicate
habitats is vital for the survival of the beautiful Galapagos flora and
fauna.
The images
below of the unique Galapagos wildlife in this very
special ecosystem were taken by wildlife
photographer Roz
Gordon in June 2007.

The
wildlife in the
Galapagos Islands was key to Charles Darwin formulating his famous
theory of
evolution.

The Galapagos
tortoises are the largest in the world and the Galapagos Islands take
their name from them. These giant tortoises are perhaps the
most famous of the Galapagos wildlife.

CRACYP
would like to thank Roz Gordon for giving us the right to use these
stunning photographs of the Galapagos wildlife and also other images
from her visit to Ecuador. You will see more of her Ecuador
photos around this website.
Please remember that all images here are copyright and may
not be used without the express, written permission of CRACYP.
The blue-footed booby is found on most of the Galapagos
Islands.
The
Galapagos wildlife photos down the righthand side of this page were
taken
on the island of San Cristobal (also known as Chatham Island) by a
tourist with a fairly ordinary camera and not much experience of
photography. They
give an idea of what
you might see and just how close you can get to these animals and birds
who really are not scared of humans. The Galapagos Islands are
a paradise
for birdwatchers and a great place for photography.
CRACYP
has a Galapagos
conservation
project to help protect the
delicate
ecosystems and rare wildlife of the Galapagos Islands.
