"Adventure in the Amazon" is a choose-your-own-adventure story that explores the key challenges that are facing the North Rupununi region in the Amazon, and possible solutions to a sustainable future of the rainforest.
The game is created to support the BBC Two series I Bought a Rainforest, and it takes about 10 to 20 minutes to complete depending on the routes you decide to take. As you navigate through the North Rupununi, the game will build up an idea of how your decisions would have an impact on the future of the rainforest, and at the end of the game you'll see a future scenario of the rainforest based on your choices.
Project COBRA
The Open University is currently participating in Project COBRA, a research project which empowers local indigenous communities in the North Rupununi to promote their own community solutions to current and emerging challenges. Our aim is to promote local indigenous solutions to current and emerging challenges through the use of accessible information and communication technologies. Visit Project COBRA to see how you can help support this initiative.

Not sure if it's my computer but my tiny plane can't land. Part of the instructions aren't on the screen : it gets as far as 'yelps , howls' and that's it!
