GTF’s real mission in Ecuador, as we learned yesterday from the lesson of Dr. Andrea Maroè, is not only climbing the largest trees but through this activity measure them, know them, study them and collect a series of indicators that can give us valuable information on the architecture, mechanics and biodiversity of these giants.... and let us understand how these wonderful trees should be regarded as one of the best things in the world.
