Explore the 8-bit Rain Forest and learn from Indigenous people about their ways of life - and how they are being threatened by deforestation, colonisation, and climate change. This byte-sized adventure tackles planet-sized issues. It was co-developed with Indigenous peoples and is free to play. Ideal for fans of 2D Zelda and Pokemon - or those who want to learn about the situation in the rain forest, and the planetary crsis that threatens us all. This game was made by Dr. Darren R. Reid and students studying History, International Relations, and Politics at Coventry University, in collaboration with Adroaldo Antonio Fidelis of the Indigenous Kaingang people.
