Biosphere

Explore life. Understand our planet. Biosphere World (biosphereworld.com) is a free biodiversity platform in 14 languages: species profiles with scientific information, habitat guides, a biodiversity journal, the BioQuest learning games and verified real-world actions for nature, rewarded with XP and BPE.

Species

Habitats

  • Oceans — The largest connected habitat on Earth, from sunlit surface waters to the dark deep sea.
  • Tropical Rainforest — Dense, humid forests near the equator, home to more species than any other land habitat.
  • Coral Reefs — Shallow tropical structures built by corals, crowded with fish, invertebrates and color.
  • Temperate Forests — Broadleaf and conifer forests of the mid-latitudes, shaped by four distinct seasons.
  • Savannas & Grasslands — Wide grasslands and tree-dotted savannas where rain arrives in seasons.
  • Deserts — Dry landscapes of sand, rock and scrub where life is adapted to extreme conditions.
  • Wetlands — Marshes, swamps, bogs and mangroves — land that is flooded or waterlogged for part of the year.
  • Freshwater — Rivers, streams, lakes and ponds: a tiny share of Earth’s water holding a surprising variety of life.
  • Mountains — High slopes where climate changes with altitude, from forested valleys to icy peaks.
  • Arctic — Sea ice, tundra and cold ocean around the North Pole, where life follows extreme seasons.
  • Antarctic — An ice-covered continent surrounded by the rich, cold Southern Ocean.
