Looking a bit frazzled in the
Lied Jungle, the world's largest indoor rainforest and a "total immersion experience" at Omaha's
Henry Doorly Zoo. As
wikipedia notes, Omaha's Zoo is "nationally renowned for its leadership in animal conservation and research." And from the
zoo's website:
The major purpose of the Lied Jungle is not only recreation, but education and conservation awareness. Rainforests play a vital role in the quality of life on earth. They are disappearing at the alarming rate of 50-100 acres a minute. That's an area the size of Massachusetts each year.
