In the heart of one of the driest regions on Earth, something extraordinary is thriving, a living, breathing rainforest in the middle of Dubai. Step inside The Green Planet, a lush sanctuary where over 3,000 species of plants and animals coexist beneath a giant glass dome. It’s a bold experiment in conservation, education, and wonder, recreating the delicate balance of the Amazon right in the Middle East. Meet the passionate caretakers who rescue and protect endangered animals like the slow loris, and learn how this one-of-a-kind ecosystem is inspiring visitors to reconnect with nature, and to protect what’s left of our planet’s wild places.
