The Smithsonian Tropical Research Institute (STRI) in Panama has received an $8 million grant from the London-based banking giant HSBC to expand its century-long studies of rainforests to better understand the effects of climate change. Working with Harvard University, STRI's Center for Tropical Forest Science will conduct an annual census across a network of 20 study plots in 15 countries, as well as study the carbon cycle in these tropical forests. The gift is STRI's biggest ever private donation and lets it tackle "important scientific questions that single-site [studies] can't address," says center director Stuart Davies.
