Students from Unidad Educativa Cazares — Cazares High School — in the Galapagos Islands are up in the Santa Cruz highlands learning about tortoise ecology and climate impacts. Student Bryan Lemos, under the close watch of a Galapagos National Park ranger, holds a small machine near a tortoise to check if there is a chip implanted. If there is a chip, this means the tortoise has been previously weighed and measured, and there will be data on how this tortoise is faring.
