PGS Wildlife Photographer of the Year

The Galapagos Islands are home to dozens of “red list” threatened species such as the Galapagos hawk and the Galapagos fur seal.

The project to restore giant tortoises to Pinta Island is just one being undertaken by the Galapagos Conservation Trust. The last remaining giant inhabitant of the island is 120 year old Lonesome George, but he was taken into captivity at the Charles Darwin Research Station (on Santa Cruz) in 1972. Following unsuccessful attempts to find other “Georges”, modern DNA testing techniques have shown that the Espanola tortoise is George’s closest relative. This July, the CDRS are planning to release dozens of baby Espanola tortoises from pens at the station onto Pinta, and monitor the impact they have on the island’s ecology using GPS tagging.

Wildlife Club is hoping to support the Trust by raising a donation through the PGS Wildlife Photographer of the Year Competition. The Competition is open to pupils from the Junior and Senior Schools as well as parents, staff and Old Portmuthians. All entries are welcome and will be displayed in an exhibition starting on 6th October for 2 weeks. Details of judging and prizes will be announced via the website.

For entry forms and full details, visit “Senior School Newsletters” on this website.
