Filipino scientists discovered a unique plant species on Luzon Island in the Philippines called Rinorea niccolifera, which is classified as a nickel hyperaccumulator. This plant can absorb and store up to 18,000 parts per million (ppm) of nickel in its tissues — approximately 1.8% of its dry weight — without suffering damage. This makes it part of a rare and scientifically valuable group of plants. The discovery was formally documented in the journal Phytotaxa by researchers from the University of the Philippines and the Department of Environment and Natural Resources (DENR). Its capability is crucial for the field of phytoremediation, an eco-friendly method that uses plants to remove heavy metals from polluted soils, especially in regions affected by mining activities. Moreover, Rinorea niccolifera opens opportunities for agromining, or the harvesting of commercially valuable metals directly from plants. This method is seen as a cleaner alternative to traditional mining, potentially allowing for both soil restoration and economic gain.

If we had to pay for the oxygen we breathe, the global bill could top $1.68 trillion annually, based on industrial production rates. That’s over 8 billion metric tons of oxygen needed every year just for us to stay alive. But nature already solved that — for free. Through photosynthesis, trees and other plants absorb carbon dioxide and release oxygen. One mature tree can produce enough oxygen for two people each year. The Takeaway? Protecting forests isn’t just about trees — it’s about saving our most valuable natural infrastructure. #TreeFacts #OxygenEconomy #NatureIsPriceless #Sustainability #PhotosynthesisPower #GreenPlanet #ClimateAwareness
