Healthcare System and Pharmaceutical and Biotechnological Industries in Cuba
This first of two articles explains how the Cuban Revolution succeeded in building a comprehensive, universal, and free public health system, from the disadvantaged situation of a small Southern country without natural resources and under US sanctions. It then examines the origins and development of the local pharmaceutical and biotechnological industries, as well as the major stakeholders in medical research and their recent scientific achieveme…
Widespread carbon-dense peatlands in the Colombian lowlands
Peatlands are some of the world’s most carbon-dense ecosystems and release substantial quantities of greenhouse gases when degraded. However, conserving peatlands in many tropical areas is challenging due to limited knowledge of their distribution. To address this, we surveyed soils and plant communities in Colombia’s eastern lowlands, where few peatlands have previously been described. We documented peat soils >40 cm thick at 51 of more than 100…
A new data-driven map predicts substantial undocumented peatland areas in Amazonia
Tropical peatlands are among the most carbon-dense terrestrial ecosystems yet recorded. Collectively, they comprise a large but highly uncertain reservoir of the global carbon cycle, with wide-ranging estimates of their global area (441 025–1700 000 km 2 ) and below-ground carbon storage (105–288 Pg C). Substantial gaps remain in our understanding of peatland distribution in some key regions, including most of tropical South America. Here we comp…
