| Galapagos Islands Animal Balance works with the CIMEI (Municipality), Galapagos National Park Service, Charles Darwin Station, WildAid, Sea Shepherd Conservation Society, SEGAL, SESA, Police, CEA and the local community to sterilize the cats and dog on Santa Cruz, San Cristobal, Floreana and Isabela Islands. The Galapagos Islands are home to unique and endangered blue footed boobies, white finned sharks, penguins, flamingos, giant tortoises, marine iguanas AND cats and dogs. Together we are working to ensure that the cat and dog populations are humanely controlled so that the delicate native species can survive and the people and agencies have the tools they need to continue to humanely manage the populations in the future. Since 2004, together with our partners, we have sterilize 96% of the cats and dogs that live in the municipal areas of the islands. We have; trained the Ecuadorian vets in spay and neuter techniques, outfitted 3 animal clinics, distributed free collars and leashes to everyone that brought their dog to be sterilized, held dog training classes to help people take responsibility for their pets, visited schools teaching a humane education module, held fun community events and empowered the Municipality to manage the project in the future. |
