From big cats and whales to mosses and butterflies: How are Earth’s species really doing? The answers may surprise you! In Biodiversity Call, players discover how different species groups are coping – and what threatens their survival. Fast, visual, and based on real scientific data, the game uncovers which species are most at risk, and which factors are driving global biodiversity loss. The game is perfect for classrooms, families, and anyone curious about the state of the natural world. At work, it’s a great conversation starter! The rules are simple enough that it takes less than a minute to get started! One round takes about 15 minutes and is played by two teams of 1–3 players per team. The game is suitable for players 12 years and older. Biodiversity Call was created in collaboration with Biodiversity and Ecosystem services in a Changing Climate (BECC); a strategic research area that engages about 350 researchers at Lund University and the University of Gothenburg.
