There’s a new game being developed for kids around Earth, Habitat the game.

The site says:

“. . . players will undertake actions to keep an endangered animal alive. In this first iteration of Habitat game players will adopt a polar bear. To keep the bear alive and healthy, players need to successfully complete events in the game and undertake real world actions. By completing these TASKS players will progress through levels, increasing the health of their bear and earn badges of recognition for their efforts. Ultimately the goal is to save the world by improving the bear’s health.”.

The site says it uses highly researched data about environmental issues to provide the impacts of the choices kids make when they make decisions to keep their bear alive:

A research group at Sydney Uni, ISA, has research and:

“… ISA have recorded imports and trade for 187 countries, over 20 years, for 15,000 different industries. Remarkably this data allows them to show the impact individual product purchases have on life cycles in other countries and on different species.”.

And ecoPOPs are going to be there!  The site will soon let kids know how they can use ecopops as a tool to keep their bears alive.  Keep an eye on this site and the Habitat game site.
