Project Overview

How does an ecosystem function?
And how do the population dynamics of different species affect each other and the ecosystem as a whole?

In the interactive comic game "Is the Gray Wolf the Key to Changing Yellowstone?" we explore the story of reintroducing gray wolves to Yellowstone National Park. This narrative helps the audience understand the intricate relationships among various species within the park and gain a deeper insight into the delicate ecological balance in nature.

Context & Difficulties

From Research to Comic

In the permanent exhibition project of National Taiwan Science Education Center, the primary challenge lay in planning content suitable for audiences of all ages. Converting complex university-level biology research into interactive experiences understandable for 7-to-12-year-olds was the primary hurdle.
