Abstract

‘Ecotourism’ usually conjures up such images as jungle treks to far away places. However, natives of the UK no longer need to travel abroad to ‘ecotour’: some of the most exotic habitats are now available on their doorstep. The showpiece of the Eden Project, situated in a disused clay pit in Cornwall (SW England), comprises two geodesic domes (‘biomes’) that are home to plants – and many animals – from warm and tropical regions. It is hoped that the collection will not only help to conserve and preserve endangered species, but also act as a valuable resource for research, education and the pure, unadulterated delight of looking at plants.
