The desert dome mostly came about because I grew up at the desert. (chuckling) And so I’d always wanted to do a desert, you know, except that, instead of, because we did in tropical rainforest, we did Asia and Africa and South America, the threes, you know, three zones. We did the same kind of thing in the desert by giving people a little taste of Namibia, of central Australia, you know, the Air’s rock area, area in central, the Red Desert, and then the Sonoran Desert ’cause I grew up in the Sonoran Desert. It’s giving people an experience that they can’t likely get and never will get, unless they, you know, they’re lucky enough to travel there. We don’t have a lot of big red and blue and, and yellow signs around. We got the information is there, if you’re interested. Most people go through and what they’re interested in is the experience. And then you kind of gently give them the conservation message that these are fragile places that need protected.
