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!
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.
