Museum of the Dead

The Open University have created a fun little resource called the Museum of the Dead. Venture inside and behold the tombs of creatures who became extinct in the 2010s; read the tales of their demise and discover which poor soul could be next if humankind continues to destroy biodiversity…

Via the site, the OU is trying to provoke discussions on species loss, conservation and extinction as well as entertain.  There are also links on the end screen that can be followed to learn more about the environment and the wildlife that surrounds us.

Thanks to Vital’s Science Portal for the link.

Visit the Museum of the Dead here.
