Biodiversity 911: Saving
Life on Earth is a lively exhibition that tells the
important story of biodiversity using science, humor, and creativity.
The exhibit takes visitors
on a fantastic exploration of forests, coral reefs, the soil in
our yards, and much more. The centerpiece of the exhibit is the
Biodiversity Theater, which features an entertaining film produced
by Aardman (the Academy Award-winning creators of Wallace and Gromit
and the feature-length film Chicken Run).
Interactive areas provide
computer simulations, larger-than-life models, video clips, and
hands-on games encouraging visitors to explore biodiversity and
how they can work to conserve it.
The exhibit soon will be hosted permanently at two locations: Canada South Science City Museum in Windsor, Ontario and Our World Children's Global Discovery Museum in Cohasset, Massachusetts.
While traveling, the exhibit visited the following locations.
