Miranda Richardson
Well known actress and GCT supporter, Miranda Richardson, has confirmed her participation in the exclusive anniversary fundraising trip to Galapagos. Miranda will join Randal Keynes, Charles Darwin's great, great grandson, helping to make the cruise, departing on 24 October, truly memorable for all participants.
Miranda has been involved with GCT since 2003 but this will be the first time she has achieved her ambition to visit the Islands. A passionate conservationist, she has appeared in a number of TV programmes about conservation, including Extinct in 2006, and is a strong advocate of the need to address climate change.
Randal first visited Galapagos in 2000 and joined the General Assembly of the Charles Darwin Foundation (CDF) in 2004. He was elected to the Board of the CDF in 2007 and is one of the champions of the Floreana project, stressing the key importance of Floreana's unique mockingbird species in Darwin's thinking about evolution.
The cruise has been organised in partnership with the Charles Darwin Foundation, Ocean Adventures and Abercrombie & Kent
The trip includes a 7 day luxury cruise aboard the M/V Eclipse; a reception at the British Embassy in Quito; and a VIP day of special events at the Charles Darwin Research Station.
The cruise will raise funds for the Station's new visitor centre, the Charles Darwin Center for Galapagos and for the Floreana Restoration Project. There are still a few places available. For more details please email us at gct@gct.org or contact Matilda at A&K on 01242 547700.
