Celebrating his 10th year, Captain Polo is on a sabbatical, in Galápagos!
Remember Captain Polo? He arrived to the Islands in May (see our previous missive), kicking off his sabbatical with a trip on the Dutch Tailship Oosterschelde. With the Darwin200 project he met students, learnt about conservation efforts and had a lovely chat with Sarah Darwin.
Galápagos school children have been learning about climate change this year, and here comes a surprise! Captain Polo along with the first three books of his adventures are set to light up the classrooms, accompanied by his exciting climate change adventure game that mixes snakes and ladders with trivial pursuit. Thanks to support of local teachers, we developed a useful guide which aligns the books with the local curriculum and learning skills.
Enjoy this short video of Captain Polo popping into the community library on their birthday.
For now, Captain Polo has gone off on a short escapade to Cali, Colombia! Yes, COP16 climate & biodiversity action. He hitched a ride with our dear friend Alberto Andrade, Frente Insular of the Galapagos Marine Reserve, to fly our colors and message high, and meet like-minded activists. Can’t stop him! Stay tuned for posts on our networks.
