Just 10 kilometers from the Mediterranean Sea, in an enclave where the French Pyrenees Mountains meet the coastline, is the Massane forest, a place where the human hand has not intervened for 150 years and that in recent decades has attracted the attention of scientists. The uniqueness of this forest is the subject of scientific research<\/a> in which individual monitoring of the evolution of its beech trees is being carried out and which, due to its relevance and thoroughness, is considered unique in Europe and the rest of the world.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n

Following the suspension of forestry activities in this area in 1886, the Massane, located in the Albera Massif, has evolved freely as a forest. This makes it, after more than a century without any human intervention, an ancient forest, a place where exceptional biological and ecological dynamics are generated. The study of these dynamics and the discoveries made, especially regarding the forest’s great genetic richness, are generating growing scientific interest due to their enormous value in the context of a climate crisis that is worsening every year.<\/p>\n<\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n
