The first project by Prospettiva Terra

Let's give a 'voice' to the trees at BAM - Biblioteca degli Alberi, in Milan

In practical terms

We installed 300 sensors, developed by PNAT, on the trees of the circular forests.

Sensors collected data

Thanks to relevant data, we demonstrate that every single tree in our cities, rather than a cost, is a valuable investment.

We measure and report in real-time the CO₂ absorption for each tree, along with the amount of pollution eliminated from the atmosphere, and the economic gain that each tree contributes to the overall city ecosystem.

The research project

PNAT's technological solutions provide us real-time detailed information on each tree's stability, and the benefits trees have for our citizens.

Not only we will be able to better protect our city trees, but we will also be empowered to act effectively in favor of endangered trees. This will help us avoid the ever-growing significant damages caused by extreme weather conditions.

The secrets of BAM's trees

1500km

each tree's roots are as long
as the route between Rome and Paris

The secrets of BAM's trees

4 times the city of Berlin

the area covered by the foliage of the trees present in the circular forests

The added value

Each tree works as a node of a graph. The data on CO₂ and pollution absorption, along with the economic gain of each tree, are shown in dedicated areas of the city of Milan.
