As part of a year-long exploration of environmental issues in the Galapagos, Anna Jaffe, Garrett Marino, Helene Moorman and Lisa Song recorded sound and interviews on location. Then they wrote, voiced and mixed a piece that brings the listeners to the islands; explores the unique setting and the animals that live there; and engages the islands' own inhabitants in a discussion of the conflicting influences (toursim, fisheries, conservation, etc.) that will shape the archipelago's future.

"Galapagos: Preserving the Trust" was written and produced entirely by freshmen taking Terrascope Radio, a new class developed collaboratively by the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT) Terrascope program and the MIT program in Comparative Media Studies (CMS). This piece was produced during the first year Terrascope Radio was offered. It was first broadcast in May, 2005, on the MIT radio station, WMBR. It has since been licensed by KFAI (Minneapolis, MN) and WYSO (Dayton, OH). In August, 2005, the Museum of Science (Boston) selected the piece to be the first in a new series of science-oriented podcasts. Hide full description
