BSc GMAE student Matthew Isteed has been doing an internship with the Galapagos Conservation Trust this year.  Read his blog posts on the experience of creating artwork for them.

The students designed and developed a 3D Tortoise Tracking game over the summer, which will be part of an educational package delivered to school children in the Galapagos and Key Stage 2 and 3 children in UK, helping them to learn about conservation in the islands.

The Tortoise Tracking game was a real hit at the event, attracting many members of the public.  In the game, players take the role of a conservationist dealing with environmental hazards that prevent tortoises migrating in order to lay eggs.

The project was initially conceived by Dan Wright and Jen Jones from the Galapagos Conservation Trust, with advice from Dr Stephen Blake from the Galapagos TortoiseMovement Ecology Programme.
