Share the love this Valentine's Day and choose to support the unique and endangered species found only on the romantic, remote Galapagos Islands. Here the native creatures still behave as they did when Charles Darwin first studied them; curious and friendly toward visiting humans.
As you exchange gifts with your partner, celebrate the mating ritual of the bizarre-looking Blue Footed Booby, where the male performs to John Travolta standards after giving his intended a small stone or stick as a love token. Or consider the magnificent Waved Albatross, a startlingly beautiful bird that mates for life and can often spend 40 years in a relationship. Who would have thought it: Ruby anniversaries for the birds?
If you prefer your creatures cute and cuddly, consider a sea lion pup, with its appealing round eyes and vulnerable appearance. And if you would rather say it with flowers, why not sponsor a rare floral species like the aptly-named Passion Flower.
For a minimum donation of £25 you can adopt any of these species and your beloved will receive an information pack about their chosen species, including a beautiful postcard, magnet and fascinating facts about their role in the complex ecosystem that underpins the Galapagos Islands.
For a lasting testimony of your love, choose to support the rare creatures from Las Encantadas - the Enchanted Isles. Show you care and support this uniquely beautiful and very vulnerable habitat now called Galapagos.
