International Nature Preserve: Difference between revisions

The Geodesic Climate "City" is an expansive area about 20 miles from Aurora City which has forty freestanding geodesic domes for preservation of foreign flora, insect life, as well as small mammals and amphibians. The domes retain much of the sun's natural heat due to the way they are constructed and need only modest electric heat powered by a nuclear reactor constructed about ten miles from the dome city. Most of the forty domes are about 100 feet in diameter and they are maintained by the Ecological Studies Agency. Each dome is intended to preserve a specific region's flora and fauna, and accordingly the climate controls in each match conditions of the source of the creatures and plants. Strict policies preventing cross-contamination are in place. The dome city began construction in 2019 and was completed in 2024, with significant delays due to the [[Final War of the Deluge]]. One dome, which contains a carefully curated mix of bugs and small animals from across the world, is open to the public year round. The "zoo dome" has become famous for its variety of colorful butterflies, who thrive in the dome's conditions and are easily seen in large numbers.
