Bridging the fascinating dynamics of predators’ interactions to online creative communities.
Moonsama is taking the lead in creating eco-derivatives, linking data about physical events to their story-telling in the virtual world. Their lion avatars are based on ever-changing data produced by the Kenya Wildlife Trust (KWT) about lion pride dynamics which include alliances, coalitions, and territorial competition.
In creating their very own digital representation of the Mara lions, Moonsama is amplifying the ecological groundwork of KWT.
The fascinating complexity and unpredictability of ecological interactions and the connection between animals add a new layer of empathy to online interactions
Founded in 2007, KWT is the principal predator conservation trust in Kenya, and is dedicated to data-driven predator research and community-supported conservation initiatives that enable the long-term viability of predator populations in Kenya.
