Amazon Rainforest Adventure Pack - Canopy Code

Canopy Code

Amazon Rainforest Geography Adventure Pack

Something deep beneath the rainforest canopy is no longer stable.

Hidden within the world’s largest tropical rainforest, environmental systems are shifting. Rainfall patterns, river flow, and forest balance are changing faster than expected. Ari Raider has detected a disturbance buried deep within the Amazon Rainforest and needs explorers to investigate.

In Canopy Code, students explore where the Amazon Rainforest is located, how its hot and wet climate supports life, and how layers of the forest create one of the most biodiverse places on Earth. As they move through canopy platforms, forest layers, and river systems, students use real geography knowledge to restore balance and work toward unlocking the Mystery Mine, where the Professor hid a specimen.

This adventure transforms geography into a story-driven mission focused on ecosystems, climate, and conservation.
