Over the past 50 years, global wildlife populations have declined by an average of 73% and insect numbers have fallen by more than 75%.

Most people alive today have no sense of how much biodiversity has been lost. Each generation redefines their baseline of what is normal. Scientists call this the ‘shifting baselines’ syndrome.

Shifting Baselines is an immersive VR experience that brings to life the changes in biodiversity that have occurred since pre-industrial times. Using science-based data on changes in species diversity and abundance, the journey showcases the loss of biodiversity that has taken place over time - revealing what has been lost and what we still have to protect.
