| Owls have 'nightshine' vision. A layer of cells in an owl's eyes cause them to be glossy or mirror-like and this allows them to capture all of the available light. Owls are able to see in detail where humans see only darkness. |  |

Tree rings are able to tell scientists about past and present climates. This is extremely important as today we are facing global climate change. In addition, trees purify the air especially in our polluted urban centres. Stanley Park in Vancouver or Central Park in NYC provide great examples of trees helping humans in an urban environment. Global Forest is monitoring the state of both animals and trees as they are affected by global change.
