A community in the Brazilian Amazon is transforming fallen trunks and dead trees into everyday items and art pieces.

By Peter Speetjens As forests continue to be cleared and forested landscapes degraded by human activity, their loss can significantly affect the trees left standing, potentially changing the structure ...

Brazil nuts are one of the most sustainable nuts. They're not grown on farms — they're collected in the rainforest after they drop naturally off wild trees. While the nuts support Indigenous ...

What Are Brazil Nuts? Brazil nuts are seeds from the Brazil nut tree, which is among the tallest trees in the Amazon rainforest. Encased in a hard, woody shell, these seeds are often referred to ...

Researchers use genomic data to study the decline in genetic diversity in the Amazon Basin, particularly in Brazil Nut trees. The research uses genomic data to understand this keystone species ...

As one of the most impacted keystone species in rainforests, Brazil Nut trees are essential for biodiversity and a vital income source for local economies. A crucial study led by researchers from the ...
