The tropical forest is important for the global climate: but how does the CO2 storage in the rainforest exactly work? And how does biodiversity contribute to the survival of the forest? A research group looked for answers in the jungles of Suriname. The environmental organization Conservation International regularly invitews research teams to study ecological diversity in different regions of the world. The latest project is of particular interest to scientists: flora and fauna in the southern jungles of Suriname has never yet been studied systematically.
