CloudLabs Environmental Factor vs A Boreal Balance

In this simulator there is an aquatic ecosystem with living species such as crustaceans, algae and fish. During this practice it is possible to control environmental factors such as temperature, oxygen and light in order to take these factors to their extremes and observe the effects on the living species present in the ecosystem.

Can you help protect and care for the boreal forest? As you visit the Smithsonian SITES exhibition “Knowing Nature: Stories of the Boreal Forest,” this game asks you to explore the environment and make impactful decisions around different scenarios that influence the health of one of our most important forests. As you visit the exhibition, pay close attention to the information panels; they hold the information that will help you solve the scenarios and learn more about the important role the boreal forest plays in our lives. At the end of the game, you will be able to see how your choices impact the health and sustainability of the forest and how the collective small choices we make in our day to day lives can help make a significant impact on protecting this vital forest.
