In The Mapinguari Game you'll collect photographs, take
video, make audio recordings, collect samples of droppings and
DNA as well as blood samples as evidence of Mapinguari’s  
existence, hoping it will persuade the world community to
protect the animal.  Protection would mean protecting its
habitat, the tropical rain forests, and, therefore, saving the
forest’s indigenous peoples and their cultures.  

On daily treks through the forest you'll face hostile
ranchers, farmers, loggers, and gold miners, fight tropical
diseases and infestations of parasites and insects, campaigns
by skeptical scientists to discredit you, floods and fires
threatening your camp, and attacks by anacondas, jaguars,
and piranhas.

If you accumulate sufficient points, you'll select the evidence
and arguments to use in a presentation to the United Nations
which decides Mapinguari's – and The Amazon's – fate.
