Uncovering Mangrove Resilience: Salinity Conditions and Freshwater Recovery Amidst the waves' roar and the mangroves' silence, Rhizophora apiculata, known as the true mangrove, stands tall. This plant is not only a silent witness to the dynamics of coastal ecosystems but also a symbol of resilience and adaptation. In a recent study by Universitas Sumatera Utara, Indonesia, forester Prof. Mohammad Basyuni delves deeper into how this species struggles and survives in challenging environments such as high salinity and freshwater recovery. 14 June 2024

Air Conditioning Innovation: A Breakthrough in the Green Energy Revolution Technological advancements have left us with a thorny and ever-discussed issue: environmental impact. The Industrial Revolution has transformed how humans view machines to help and support human life. But on the other hand, the development of these machines is not matched by solutions to preserve the environment. As we know, global warming and climate change have been the consequences of using machines that are not environmentally friendly. 17 May 2024
