We’re Olmo Garcia and Jose Antonio Fernandez and we are passionate about design, technology, and how they can be combined to help animals in the wild.
We came up with an idea called eZOO.
Instead of visiting a conventional zoo we create spectacular audiovisual environments which give people an immersive wildlife experience without animals having to be caged and in captivity.

Central to eZOO is our accompanying products called The eZOOns – soft toys, video games, books, toys, etc.
Through The eZOOns we aim to introduce children to the key concepts of biodiversity, conservation and how to protect wildlife.
The first release of The eZOOns will be a soft toy called Cheempo.
This will also include a pack showing the chimpanzee’s habitat.
And using Cheempo’s software children will be able to come face to face with the eZOO Augmented Reality experience via a smartphone or tablet.
Rather than standing on the other side of a fence at a zoo with a caged animal, children will be able to experience and learn about chimpanzees in their natural environment.
The cost of this pack is just 25$ with free worldwide shipping.
50% of the profits will be used to develop eZOO products and encourage zoos to use new technologies for education, instead of captive animals.
The remaining 50% of the profits will help to support some of the Jane Goodall Institute’s projects to protect chimpanzees in Africa, with special emphasis on the chimpanzee research & conservation programs in Senegal.
To create “Cheempo” and help wild chimpanzess at the same time, we rely on crowdfunding.
