Pulmonary lichen (Lobaria pulmonaria) in the Vercors. A large foliaceous lichen - one of the largest in Europe - whose thallus commonly exceeds about 30 cm. Like all lichens, it is a lichenised fungus, and like most of them it belongs to the ascomycetes group. Its membership of the cyanolichen category, fungi associated with cyanobacteria, makes it a particularly sensitive organism to atmospheric pollution. It is therefore a species in decline in many regions and has been chosen as a health index for French forests. Ambel forest, Vercors NRP, France

The pygmy canopy honey. A team of honey-hunters have just spotted the flight of bees towards a nest more than 50 metres high in an undergrowth of Mangobé plants. The big equatorial forest of Central Africa is the planets second lung. But in reality it is a very diversified ecosystem. Human presence in this forest goes back more than 20,000 years and during the last 5000 years there have been periods of drought linked to climatic changes. 2500 years ago, with the spreading of iron, and the arrival of the Bantu people, the forest cover was profoundly modified, the savannahs created. The Mangobe plants with an open undergrowth attest to ancient human occupation. These are often the spots where slash and burn has been practiced. Likouala, Congo
