About Habitat Earth

Recommended for ages 9+, grades 4-12
Running Time: 24 minutes

Dive beneath the ocean's surface to witness the dynamic ecological relationships within kelp forests, burrow beneath the forest floor to see how some of Earth's tallest trees depend on tiny fungi to survive, and journey to new heights to witness the intricate intersection between human and ecological networks.

Learn how life changes our planet and discover what it means to live in today's connected world.
