Su capacidad para resolver los problemas que se les presentan ha sido probada por los estudios más recientes.

Elles se défendent, elles attaquent, elles nouent des alliances, elles chassent, elles rusent, elles draguent, elles communiquent à distance leurs peurs, leurs souffrances et leur joie.

Il più vecchio albero italiano di cui sia certa l'età è un pino loricato che cresce in Calabria abbarbicato sul Pollino. È nato nel 1026, più giovane quindi di un suo omonimo nato nel Nord della Grecia nel 941 e considerato il più vecchio essere vivente del Mediterraneo. Il più vecchio del mondo invece è un abete rosso (un albero di Natale, per intenderci) che vive in Svezia e che nel 2008 dovrebbe aver compiuto 9550 anni. Ancorati alle radici, gli alberi non si muovono.

Giant redwoods are American icons, paragons of grandeur, exceptionalism, and endurance. They are also symbols of conflict and negotiation, remnants of environmental battles over the limits of industrialization, profiteering, and globalization.
