Game to help detect threats on elephants and raise awareness on this problem.

Elephants from Africa and Asia are threatened by the loss of their inhabitat and the poaching for their ivory. It is urgent to take action before the situation becomes irreversible. The main purpose of the application is to make the user aware of those threats and to enable him to get involved via a game that confronts the user with real images collected from places where elephants live. Hunters are inserted randomly into the images. The user is asked to report images where elephants are attacked but also elephants causing damage that can lead to problems of cohabitation. Beyond elephants, other endangered animals can be reported. The information is meant to be consolidated and reported to the image providers (this is not yet implemented).

The application is a proof-of-concept developed by the Geek'O team as part of the First Lego League Challenge "Animal Allies" edition 2016-2017.
