Exploring biodiversity with Nexus Island ESA Extension

The new ESA Extension of Nexus Island activities allow students to discover the vital role of Earth Observation satellites in providing crucial information and monitoring our planet’s health. Nexus Island is a game-based educational resource for students aged 14–19, developed by the European Molecular Biology Laboratory (EMBL), offering an engaging way to explore the complex relationships between ecosystems, biodiversity, and human activity. There are two versions of NEXUS Island, tailored for formal and non-formal education settings. ESA has developed an extension of the game for these two versions to include the space perspective.
