A contribution to research on biodiversity 

The new generation of canopy raft

Because it is made of PVC, and is thus flexible but mechanically robust, the SolVin–Bretzel canopy raft provides biologists with an exceptional tool to investigate one of the last little-known ecosystems on earth: the canopy of virgin equatorial forest.

Seeing things from the scientists’ perspective as they discover the processes that govern the survival and diversity of ecosystems, using a minimum of resources, provides an extraordinary lesson for our industrial societies, now seeking a more sustainable development model.
