EcoBuilder is a game where you will build your own ecosystem of plants and animals, modelled using the same simulations that researchers use to study real ecosystems. You will learn about various ecological phenomena along the way, and if you get really good at playing then your high scores will help real researchers to understand ecosystems better!
