Get ready for a unique experience that will literally transport you on a flight through the Tagus Estuary, exploring the territory through the eyes of the birds that inhabit it. This immersive exhibition offers more than a visit, a sensory and educational journey that will help you understand the complex challenges birds face on a daily basis.
Throughout the exhibition, both adults and children will have the opportunity to explore 20 interactive modules that showcase the dilemmas faced by migratory and resident birds of the Tagus Estuary. From the choice of nesting sites to the difficult food-related decisions, each module offers a deeper reflection on the relationship between wildlife and the surrounding environment.
What You’ll Experience:
- Interactive Projections: High-definition images and animations will take you through the estuary’s various habitats, allowing you to witness their seasonal changes and how these affect the lives of birds.
- Immersive Sounds: The real sounds of the estuary, captured in their purest form, accompany this journey. Close your eyes, and you’ll feel as if you’re in the heart of the estuary, listening to the bird’s calls and the gentle murmur of the water.
- Emotional Reflection Modules: Each of the 20 modules features an interactive activity that not only educates but also evokes an emotional response. Examples include:
- Land Use Decisions: See how human choices, such as agriculture and urbanization, directly impact bird habitats.
- Impacts of Climate Change: Understand how global climate shifts affect migratory routes and resource availability for birds.
- Active Participation: This is not a passive exhibition. Each visitor is invited to make decisions as if they were a bird, experiencing firsthand the consequences of those choices for life in the estuary.
Why Visit: This exhibition is perfect for families, educators, and nature enthusiasts who want to deepen their understanding of biodiversity and environmental challenges. It also offers a chance to connect emotionally with the Tagus Estuary and gain insight into the importance of preserving this vital ecosystem.
