WWF is proud to offer a special Insider Journey that will highlight the vital role women play in conservation, while creating a comfortable, encouraging environment that naturally fosters camaraderie and community. Join female WWF Experts and Expedition Leaders and a small group of like-minded women for an exploration of the Galápagos Islands, its exquisite and varied landscapes, and wildlife not found anywhere else in the world, while aboard the luxurious M/C Natural Habitat Petrel.

We sail throughout these enchanted islands, docking for relaxing beach walks, snorkeling opportunities, panga rides, and hikes with wildlife viewings at every turn. We will also visit the Charles Darwin Research Station, established by WWF in 1962 as one of WWF’s earliest priority places, and have the chance to spend the night at a private giant tortoise camp for extra time with these ancient animals. The island that was once home only to wildlife now welcomes 160,000 tourists annually and houses 30,000 people. For over 10 years, WWF worked to develop an effective waste management system on the islands and campaigned to educate inhabitants about recycling. WWF also helped establish the surrounding marine reserve encompassing 50,000 square miles which helps protect marine wildlife like sea lions, sharks, sea turtles, and tropical fish.

About Our Experts

Wendy leads WWF-US’s seascapes work in the Eastern Pacific. Since 2011, Wendy has worked closely with WWF staff and partners in Latin America and the Caribbean to develop, implement, and monitor fishery improvement projects (FIPs) to ensure fisheries are transitioning towards sustainability. She has also led WWF training efforts to build global capacity for FIP development and implementation. She is now expanding upon her fisheries experience in Latin America to develop an integrated nature-positive seascape approach to achieve positive change for biodiversity, people, and climate in Ecuador by 2030. 

Wendy fell in love with the ocean growing up fishing, sailing, and swimming in the waters off Martha’s Vineyard, Massachusetts, and still spends much of her summers there with her kids. She developed a love for Latin America at a young age while living with her family in Argentina, Brazil, and Mexico for eight years. She feels very fortunate that she found a career where she can pursue her love of marine conservation in one of her favorite parts of the world.
