‘This is a wake-up call for the world’: UBC researchers at the forefront of championing for change
The Galápagos islands are under severe threat from ocean pollution, climate change, and illegal, unregulated, and unreported (IUU) fishing pressures
Darwin’s Eden awash in plastics
Penguin guano from the Galápagos is helping UBC researchers track microplastic pollution from around the globe

As penguins dive, their location data takes flight
Data sent from penguins to space and back to UBC could help researchers determine why the species’ breeding population fluctuates so dramatically.
