What a way to learn about rainforest ecology concepts! This game has an interactive interface with four playing levels designed to challenge players to experiment with environmental factors that control forest growth and animal populations. The focus is on carbon because where there’s forest carbon, there is structure, and that means habitat for animals — and potential for biodiversity. Find out what happens if carbon is stored not in the forest trees and soil, but in the air. What does it mean for the sloths (herbivores) and jaguars (carnivores)? What are the consequences for global warming when the forest does not grow well? Play the game and find out!! Armed with your new understanding of carbon cycling, explore the impacts of land-use change on global warming and biodiversity. Evaluate the trade-offs between agricultural production and forest ecosystem services as you develop critical thinking skills.

Key Features
• Easy navigation among four levels that address different ecological concepts
• Interactive learning materials that present information and test understanding
• Authentic sound track and photos from Costa Rican rainforests
• Based on scientific data generated from NSF-funded research projects conducted at La Selva Biological Station

“Land Use Change: The deforestation images were powerful, and the simulation piqued their interest as they wanted jaguars to win over the cows.”
