Way back in September last year, I covered a story<\/a> on Cambridge Consultants, the Zoological Society of London, and their use of the Raspberry Pi in conservation and preservation in Kenya. Since January this year, they have used the same equipment, known as Instant Wild, to monitor penguins in Antarctica. Basically, the Pi is used to send photos and data back from the unit (pictured above) via an Iridium (satellite) uplink.\u00a0You can read a lot more about the project over on Cnet.com<\/a>.<\/p>\n
