The Generation Forest plants Forests, not Trees!
In the last update, we informed you that The Generation Forest planted over 381000 trees last year and about the different species the cooperative uses to create biodiverse forests. The statement “planting forests, not trees” seems strange, but the underlying logic is very valuable and distinguishes The Generation Forest from many reforestation projects.

Reforestation Update of The Generation Forest
Last year's planting season was strongly influenced by the El Nino phenomenon. The phenomenon causes that Panama is significantly drier than normal. However, TGF's forestry partner was able to plant a good mix with their forestry concept and experience with different tree species.

Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz: The Last Of The Polymath Geniuses
I wrote about the great genius Geralomo Cardano in an earlier post. He was what we call a "Polymath", which was a common description of early scientists and mathematicians before the concept of "academic specialization" became the normal path to follow. Gottfried Wilhelm Leibniz is considered to be one of the last great Polymaths, and for good reason.

A.T. and A.I.
Anyone who has studied the history of computer science and cryptography will be familiar with the terms, "Turing Complete", and "Turing Machine". These terms were coined due to the influence Alan Turing had before computers as we know them existed. His brilliant solution to breaking the Nazi's Enigma coding machine during WWII has been well documented in multiple books and films. However, just before his untimely death in 1954 at age 42, (69 years ago) he correctly foretold the potential of what we now call, "AI", and the disruption it would cause in our own time.

We are now entering the latest Cardano Era, “Conway”, named after the brilliant modern mathematician, John Conway.

Who Is Jeremy Wood?
We all know that Charles Hoskinson is the spokesperson, public face, and co-founder of Cardano. He was a founding member of the Ethereum development team but then separated himself from Vitalik Buterin regarding Ethereum's future. He and Jeremy Wood formed Input Output and began planning Cardano in 2015, launching the ecosystem in 2017. I realized I knew little or nothing about Jeremy Wood, and I thought all of you might like to get a glimpse of this influential Cardano figure, and as it turns out a glimpse is all we get...
