Biologists
Event Card
Play: Protection: halts the effects of a development or destruction event.
Fact: Biologists protect species by studying their ecology, managing their populations, and helping to uphold environmental legislation.
Protected Area
Event Card
Play: Protection: halts the effects of a development or destruction event.
Fact: Protected areas conserve ecologically important habitats and processes, and maintain healthy populations of native species.
Legislation
Event Card
Play: Protection: halts the effects of a development or destruction event.
Fact: Effective species at risk, environment assessment, and protected area legislation is critical for conserving biodiversity.
Climate Change
Event Card
Play: Complex and hard to predict (for this game though, see the rules)
Fact: Climate change is expected to dry up the boreal forest, causing more wildfire, disease, and a shift or loss of plant and animal species.
