The Biosphere Project’s mission is to collaborate in raising awareness about the fragility of our planet Earth and the need to take care of it.

An ecosystem composed of plants and various organisms in completely sealed spheres represents our world on an infinitesimal scale. Plants produce photosynthesis and during that process generate their own food and release oxygen used by other organisms in a symbiotic effect where the life of each one depends on the other.
