Wildlife Sanctuary
🐾 Wildlife Sanctuary: “Where Nature Meets Nurture”
The Wildlife Sanctuary is a lush, open-world zone designed to celebrate Earth’s biodiversity through safe, respectful, and emotionally engaging virtual experiences. It’s not a zoo—it’s a living, breathing tribute to the wild, where avatars and animals coexist in harmony.
🌍 Core Design Philosophy:
- No cages. No confinement. All animals roam freely in expansive, biome-specific habitats.
- Emotional connection first. Visitors learn through interaction, empathy, and storytelling.
- Global representation. Species from every continent, with cultural and ecological context.
