Context
How We Are Using It
We have developed the Dukunu Mole game in partnership with Birdlife in Sao Tomé. We followed a Companion Modelling approach to co-create the conceptual model together with key stakeholders and the Birdlife team, which we then translated into a straetgy game. The game was tested and validated in a serious of game sessions with local stakeholders.
It served to identify key challenges in landscape management and informed Birdlife in better planning targeted action to reach most impact.
