An Eco-Critique of Subnautica
The Video Game Subnautica surprisingly is perhaps the best piece of environmental and conservation centered pieces of media in recent years. In this video, I hope to go over the plot and details of this game and, as a biologist, unpack its environmental messages and see what can be learned from this game for developing future conservation-focused stories.

Welcome to Ecotasia! On this channel you can find wildlife footage and short documentaries on the natural world. I am an early career biologist who was inspired by the likes of the BBC Natural History unit, PBS, and Animal Planet as a child and then more recently by various nature YouTube channels to share my love for animals and nature. My goal is to document and highlight the interesting ecology and behavior of organisms I encounter, as well as cover and elucidate conservation and biological topics. Please Subscribe so you can join me to marvel and to learn twice a month.
