The idea was created during GIS capacity building workshops organized by local authorities, NGOs and the Universities of San Francisco de Quito, Salzburg and others, during 2013 and put into a workplan at the first Geocommunity GALAPAGOS workshop in February 2014 at San Cristobal, Galapagos.

GeoComunidad Galapagos@GIS Day Salzburg


This year's GISday, organized by the Interfaculty Department of Geoinformatics - ZGIS, was the perfect opportunity for our initiative to elate a crowd of pupils from different secondary schools of the Provinces of Salzburg and Upper Austria for our work. Dr. Gudrun Wallentin prepared and led an interactive workshop dealing with GIS-based modeling of invasive species at Isabella Island that presented one of the most pressing issues at Galapagos to an interested audience in a motivating and inspiring manner. We are sure to have left our traces in the pupils' minds!
