(Okavango Delta)

🚨 ADVENTURER DISPATCH

The ecosystem is unraveling.

Inside one of the most complex living systems on Earth, feeding relationships are breaking down. Energy pathways are collapsing. Predator and prey balances are shifting. One missing link is triggering failures across the entire web.

Local systems cannot correct the imbalance.

You have been selected.

You are one of the only explorers trained to understand how energy moves through ecosystems, how species depend on one another, and how balance is maintained across food webs. Every connection matters. Every organism plays a role.

There is no single fix.
There is no isolated solution.

To stabilize the system, you must understand the web of life.

Your mission begins now.

🌍 A REAL PLACE WHERE LIFE IS INTERCONNECTED

This adventure is inspired by the Okavango Delta, one of the most biologically rich wetlands on the planet. Seasonal flooding creates a living network of producers, consumers, and decomposers, making it a perfect real-world example of food webs, energy flow, and ecological balance. The location is real. The ecosystem is dynamic. The science is real.
