Wairepo Wetland Stories – Episode 1, 2024

“Our wetland may be small, but plays a crucial role in supporting the environmental health of animals and plants and it moderates flood risk.

Diverse ecosystems are the foundation of life. They can be big or small, but they all make a difference.

Help to create and protect them!

Game inspired by the work of Sonja and Sen in their wetland in Kawakawa New Zealand.

Through the game, we aim to raise awareness about the vital ecosystems endangered by human activity, which play a crucial role in sustaining the environmental health of animals and plants.

Diverse ecosystems are the foundation of life on Earth.
