Lolo's Flying Journey

I'm very pleased to announce that my latest project with WWF Hong Kong, Lolo's Flying Journey- an illustrated boardgame on the migratory journey of the endangered Black-faced Spoonbill, was launched on World Migratory Day! The project is a collaboration between WWF Hong Kong, the East Asian Australasian Flyway Partnership, Incheon Metropolitan City (South Korea) and the Hans Seiddel Foundation. The game is available in Chinese, English and Korean, on WWF Hong Kong's website. As participants play the game, they must help the spoonbill navigate different threats across its journey through six countries and guide the bird to its wintering grounds to earn points. 
A huge thanks to the WWF HK team for giving me this opportunity! Click on the images for a larger view.
