Pioneering satellite reveals rainforests' hidden worlds

Rainforests play a critical role in biodiversity and combatting climate change by storing massive amounts of greenhouse gases. However, scientists face challenges in studying the dense rainforest ecosystems due to the limited ability of satellites to penetrate the thick canopies. A new technology breakthrough now enables scientists to explore and understand the biodiversity and ecological processes hidden beneath the rainforest canopy, offering insights crucial for conservation and climate efforts.
