Description
“Four men and four women – researchers, technicians, and agriculturalists – along with 3,800 species of plants and animals are sealed inside one of the most extraordinary structures ever built – Biosphere 2. Emulating the Earth (Biosphere 1), Biosphere 2 is the largest and most complex ecosystem ever built. Experiments and observations in this 3-acre glass and steel enclosure will allow us to understand more about life on Earth and better manage our precious resources. It will also lay the groundwork for creating self-sustained living environment for future space exploration and settlement. This comprehensive 20-minute educational video interviews founders, designers, builders and crew members of Biosphere 2. It includes footage of the biospherians at work inside the wilderness areas, intensive agriculture, technosphere and human habitat.” 1991
