Abstract

Wildlife loss and declining biodiversity have become major concerns in today’s fast-paced world, where many people have little connection with nature. Animal Care Quest is created as an interactive digital platform that helps users learn about wildlife in an engaging and enjoyable way. The app encourages curiosity by allowing users to explore different animal species, understand their habitats, and learn why conservation is important. Through AI-based species recognition, gamified missions, and immersive visual experiences, the platform makes ecological learning both fun and meaningful. Its simple navigation, appealing graphics, and nature-inspired design create a welcoming environment for users of all ages. Overall, Animal Care Quest aims to build awareness, strengthen the bond between users and nature, and inspire responsible attitudes toward wildlife and the environment.
