Canopy Rescue at Danum Valley Conservation Area

Biodiversity & Conservation Adventure Pack

High above the rainforest floor of Danum Valley, the canopy is in danger.

The balance of life in one of the world’s richest rainforests is shifting. Endemic species are disappearing from familiar zones. Invasive organisms are spreading into protected habitats. Signs of habitat loss are appearing where dense biodiversity once thrived. Ari Raider has detected a critical disruption in the rainforest system and needs explorers to investigate before biodiversity declines beyond recovery.

In Canopy Rescue at Danum Valley Conservation Area, students are dropped into one of the most biologically diverse ecosystems on Earth on a high-stakes conservation mission. By learning how biodiversity strengthens ecosystems, why endemic species are especially vulnerable, and how conservation and restoration efforts protect habitats, explorers must analyze threats, stabilize affected zones, and help restore balance to the rainforest canopy.

This adventure blends biodiversity and conservation science with story, exploration, and optional hands-on discovery.
