Galápagos Sustainable Framework

The Galápagos Government Council (GGC), established in 2009 as the Planning and Regulatory body for the islands, has successfully preserved the unique ecosystems and managed population growth and tourism activities. Collaborating with organizations like the Charles Darwin Foundation, they work diligently towards this mission. 

Community-Based Conservation
This critical project, made possible through invaluable support, takes the lead in designing, developing, and implementing a community-based process to update the Galápagos Special Law and the Galápagos Master Plan. These revisions are pivotal as they form the foundation for safeguarding Galápagos ecosystems, preserving their intrinsic values, and nurturing local communities.

COmON's unwavering commitment to sustainability and conservation, in line with its mission to regenerate and re-green degraded areas worldwide while empowering communities, is evident through its vital funding for this initiative. By actively supporting this endeavor, the organization not only contributed to the ongoing success of the Galápagos Islands but also strengthened its dedication to fostering positive change in both environmental and community spheres.

The project's overarching goal perfectly aligned with COmON's mission, which seeked to make a profound and enduring impact on the environment and the communities it served, ensuring a sustainable and vibrant future for the Galápagos
