A team of Penn State researchers has captured the first natural observations of trees emitting faint electrical glows, known as corona discharges, during thunderstorms. The discovery, made in North Carolina, confirms a phenomenon long theorized but never seen outside laboratories. These glows may contribute to air cleaning by producing hydroxyl radicals.

The National Bank for Economic and Social Development (BNDES) announced a record R$7 billion investment in Brazilian forests since 2023, at the COP30 Leaders Summit in Belém. The amount, the largest in the bank's history for the forestry sector, funds the planting of about 280 million trees and the capture of 54 million tons of CO2. The initiative combines reimbursable and non-reimbursable resources for conservation and restoration.
