What Flora is about
Bobby is a young biologist working on a project to bring wolves back to Evergreen National Park. On paper, it's a beautiful idea. In practice, not everyone is cheering.
In Flora, the small town next door, residents start to fear the wolves will attack them. It's up to Bobby to convince them they're not in any danger, and to do that he'll need a skill they don't teach in biology class: putting himself in their shoes.
You move forward with him through three lessons: recognizing empathy, connecting with others and showing your empathy. In the simulator, you practice the key skills for developing empathy and get personalized feedback on every exercise.
