Description
More than 35% of the planet’s landmass is accounted for by deserts, desert steppe and dry savannahs. The world’s largest desert is the Sahara. Covering more than 10.5 million km², it is around the same size as Europe. The Desert House goes beyond simply showing a selection of plants and animals found in arid environments. Committed to providing an educational experience, it looks at environmental conditions in extreme habitats that have driven unusual evolutionary changes in the organisms that live there, and explores the survival strategies employed by desert flora and fauna. Another of its focuses is on humans and the way that they adapt to desert landscapes and how humanity is involuntarily contributing to the creation of new deserts all over the world.
