Overview
Thank you for your interest regarding In Darwin's Footsteps. In Darwin's Footsteps will be a one-hour documentary that not only retraces Darwin's steps across the archipelago, but also brings to life the destructive impact of human activity on the islands over the last 160 years. Like a canary in the coal mine, the Galapagos serve as a reminder to us all that unchecked human activity threatens the health and balance of our planet. Your gifts will help fund a project designed to further the understanding of evolutionary biology and history, while also creating an awareness of the very real and pernicious threat to the world's most important ecosystems that stem from mismanagement and abuse.
Please find below instructions regarding how to contribute to this worthy cause. All donors will receive attribution in the documentary's credits. Please email with any questions.
