Ancient Island
This island continent has a rich and varied environment ranging from tropical rainforest to high mountain peaks, but the whole island is considered a wildlife sanctuary and heavily protected due to fact that the island is the only place left on Althaneas that hosts dinosaurs.
Climate
The rainforest biome remains warm all year and must stay frost-free. The average daily temperatures range from 20°C (68°F) to 25°C (77°F). The forests in the middle elevations are more temperate and the mountain peaks are more hostile, even including snow.
Fauna & Flora
Over 200,000 species of plants thrive in rain forests. To try and list them all is folly. Here's a sample list of flora: (Note how many are food sources!)

Natural Resources
The main source of income is the harvesting of paperbark and many of the natural growing flora and fauna, though there are strictly enforced limits on the number of resources that may be taken in a season.
Tourism
The tourist trade is a small but VERY lucrative part of Ancient Island's economy. A whole trade has sprung up around guided tours so that researchers, sages, and the wealthy can see the creatures in their habitat.
