About this organization
Mission
Island Conservation's mission is to prevent extinctions by removing invasive species from islands.
About
Conservation operations: Islands represent approx. 5% the world's land area, yet are biodiversity hotspots that have hosted 75% of bird, mammal, amphibian and reptile extinctions since 1500. The majority of these extinctions are caused by invasive species. Working together with local communities, government management agencies, and conservation organizations, we can remove invasive species from island. This intervention allows the opportunity for native plants and animals to recover. Since 1994, Island Conservation and our partners have deployed teams to 60 islands worldwide, to benefit 1090 populations of 399 species and subspecies. In 2017, Island Conservation partnered with >150 organization to plan, implement and monitor projects to protect threatened species in French Polynesia, Hawaii, Galapagos, Palau and Chile. Species benefitting from this work include the critically endangered rayadito on Alejandro Selkirk, the endangered Newell's shearwater in Hawaii, and endangered Peruvian diving-petrel on Chanaral Island.
