A large-scale global study suggests forests are shifting toward a few types of fast-growing trees, displacing slower-growing native species and weakening biodiversity and carbon storage.
The species was identified after more than 20 years of study, but today only five specimens remain. A unique species in the world, discovered in Panama and with characteristics that defy the logic of traditional botany, already faces an imminent threat: it could disappear even before being completely understood by science. This is Clusia nanophylla, a tree recently identified by researchers at the Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI), whose existence is limited to a specific area of ??the country.
The adoption of digital technologies is improving efficiency, precision, and customization in furniture manufacturing.
Recent developments are enabling the creation of panels and biocomposites from forest residues and industrial byproducts.
The use of sustainable materials and ecological processes is marking a new stage in furniture production in the region, with a focus on innovation and environmental efficiency.
The Grandfather Larch impresses with the height and size of its trunk. To get to know it you have to take a journey that includes navigation and walking in the forest.
