  • Julia Marumo, her two young sisters, and her cousin Gladys pick mopane worms from mopane trees in the countryside; entire families like hers move into mobile camps for the short mopane harvest which occurs twice every year in Botswana. The mopane worm is actually the caterpillar of the anomalous emperor moth (Imbrasia belina), one of the larger moths in the world. "Mopane" refers to the mopane tree, and its leaves which the caterpillar eats. Dried mopane worms have three times the protein content of beef and can be stored for many months. (pages 128,129)

Biosphere 2 Project undertaken by Space Biosphere Ventures, a private ecological research firm funded by Edward P. Bass of Texas.  ‘Biospherian’ Jayne Poynter harvesting potatoes inside Biosphere 2 in the intensive agriculture biome.  Biosphere 2 was a privately funded experiment, designed to investigate the way in which humans interact with a small self-sufficient ecological environment, and to look at possibilities for future planetary colonization. The $30 million Biosphere covers 2.5 acres near Tucson, Arizona, and was entirely self- contained. The eight ‘Biospherian’s’ shared their air- and water-tight world with 3,800 species of plant and animal life. The project had problems with oxygen levels and food supply, and has been criticized over its scientific validity. 1992
