All around the globe in the Biodiversity exhibit, information on several of the world’s ecosystems is presented, including the Southern Appalachian Biosphere Reserve: “Roughly a three-hour drive from Charlotte, some of the world’s oldest mountains set the stage for part of a UNESCO* Biosphere Reserve. The reserve protects North Carolina’s state-endangered green salamander and other “lungless” salamander species found nowhere else on Earth.”
