The Reserve

Where extinction
ends.

In 1987, a team of geneticists discovered that prehistoric DNA, preserved in Cretaceous amber deposits, was recoverable — and viable. Six years later, the first footsteps fell on Isla Extinctus.

The Amber Reserve is not a zoo. There are no cages. Our twenty-three resident species roam three hundred square kilometres of reconstructed Mesozoic habitat — grasslands, fern forests, wetlands, and open ocean. The boundaries are electric. The animals, however, are entirely real.
