Cocos Island Exhibit
 |
Challenge -
Cocos Island is a Costa Rica National Park AND
a World Heritage Site. Located 360 miles off the
coast, most Costa Rican nationals will never visit.
Without convenient access to the island, voters
are not likely to back strong anti-poaching laws.
This leaves the island vulnerable.
Solution - Create a realistic, high-definition exhibit for Costa Rica. The display will showcase the beauty and import of the island for the entire Costa Rica population. If people know Cocos Island, they will love her, if they love her they will protect her.
