Scientists embark on Darwin's route

Scientists are embarking on a journey on a ship following Charles Darwin's route. A group of researchers has set off on a two-year expedition, called Darwin200, on the Dutch ship Oosterschelde. They will retrace the path Charles Darwin took 192 years ago before the discovery of the theory of evolution. The ship will serve as a floating laboratory for naturalists and conservationists from around the world. They will develop projects to save the species described by Darwin in the 19th century.
