Geology professor receives great honor
Jim Reynolds elected to the Board of Directors of the Galapagos Conservancy
Brevard College Geology Professor Jim
Reynolds was elected to the Board of
Directors of the Galapagos Conservancy
during the board’s Nov. 11 meeting in New
York City.
Reynolds has led three field trips to
the Galapagos Islands, one for Brevard
College and two for the Appalachian College
Association. The islands, which are a part of
Ecuador, straddle the Equator about 600 miles
west of the South American mainland.
“The Galapagos Islands are a remarkable
natural laboratory for biologists and
geologists.” said Reynolds, who has taught
at Brevard College since 1999. “Every time I
go there I feel as though I’ve been transported
to a land that time forgot. I am honored to
serve on the Conservancy’s Board.”
Reynolds plans to lead a second Brevard
College trip to the archipelago next summer.
A typical visit lasts eight days during which
group members live on a yacht that transports
them between islands during the night. Daily
hikes and snorkeling excursions on the islands
and in their surrounding waters introduce the
group to a unique flora and fauna as well as
volcanoes.

The Galapagos Conservancy is dedicated
exclusively to the long-term protection of the
Galapagos Islands. This single focus allows
the conservancy to maximize the impact of
the financial investments of its members,
who include individuals and institutions that
care deeply about the Galapagos Islands
and understand the scientific importance of
preserving this extraordinary ecosystem.
Collectively, Conservancy members
represent the largest source of private
funding for Galapagos conservation. The
Conservancy’s direct support to on-the-
ground research and management has more
than doubled since 2004. It is committed to
strengthening local institutions and to creating
local capacity to ensure long-term protection
of the archipelago.
