Welcome to the raft of the peaks, a mind-blowing device, a kind of laboratory placed by inflatable balloon at the top of the tropical forests to study the incredible biodiversity of the equatorial canopy. Viewpoints from the researchers who shared these wonderful adventures.
Meet from the top of the trees, in the canopy, around an extraordinary adventure: that of the raft of the peaks. 30 years of exploration of tropical forest canopies aboard a laboratory raft: an assembly of pontoons linked by a net delicately deposited using airships and inflatables at the top of the tropical forests of Africa, America from the South and Asia… A dozen mind-blowing expeditions that have made it possible to discover, list and study the tremendous biodiversity, visible only from the top of the tropical forests…
With Francis Halle (botanist and biologist), Gilles Ebersolt (architect) and Olivier Pascal (botanist and organizer of tropical forest expeditions) for the book The Raft of the Peaks: 30 years of exploring the equatorial forest canopies, published by Actes Sud.
