Achlan!

My name is Dazi and I run this park.

Many from outside Arrakis view it as dry and without animal or plant life. Upon their first visit they are surprised by the plants and animals that manage to survive. I have carefully researched the plants that grow there and discovered that they, as well as the animals, are the same or similar to those in a desert called Sonora in a state called Arizona on the planet Earth.

I happen to be from Arizona and this connection is of particular interest to me. This nature park contains specimens of these plants and animals with placards giving their name, scientific name, and a short description. If you visit the Information Center, they will refer you to other places that may interest you as well.
