As well as raising funds to build a new reptile and amphibian house here at Jersey Zoo, we wanted the trail to help islanders reconnect with nature and explore parts of the island that they had not been to before. There have also been over 515,000 sculpture unlocks, which is 127% more than for Go Wild Gorillas.Īlexandra Shears, Director of Communications and Fundraising at Durrell commented: “It has been amazing to see how much the island has engaged with Tortoise Takeover.
This is 50% more downloads than Go Wild Gorillas, which was downloaded 6,672 times over 11 weeks. The current stats for the Tortoise Takeover app include 10,034 downloads.
The official Tortoise Takeover app, which was kindly sponsored by the Government of Jersey has already racked up an impressive number of users, surpassing the figures achieved by the Go Wild Gorillas app over the entire 11-week trail in just two weeks.
