The Eden Project is an educational charity that redeveloped a reclaimed china clay pit into a major ecotourism project. The huge biomes or naturally occurring community of flora and fauna that occupies a major habitat are home to massive rainforests and plants collected from diverse environments. They also offer a stage for concerts, exhibitions, and other events.
Eden Project’s Director of Interpretation Jo Elworthy said it was their “most compelling” summer programme so far.
“Visitors will be able to see first-hand how even the smallest of individual actions can make a difference, especially when we all work together for positive change. Join us, become a guardian of the future and help conserve the extraordinary variety of life on Earth, vital for all of our futures,” she added.
Attractions include Earth Story sharing tales of the Earth’s history as well as its future, an ice-age mammoth skeleton in the Cave of Lost Giants, the Cabinets of Curiosities, and the tunnels of the Mini-Beast Mansion. Visitors to the Royal Cornwall Show will be able to see a life-like gorilla until today.
