22、e lungs of the world”. It is also home to about 3 million species of plants and animals, and 1 million local people. The vast area of rainforest plays an important role in the worlds ecosystem because it absorbs heat instead of reflecting heat back into the atmosphere. It also stores carbon dioxide
23、and produces oxygen, ensuring that less carbon is released, reducing the effects of climate change.“Any destruction of forest is a danger to biodiversity and the people who use that biodiversity，” Thomas Lovejoy, an ecologist at George Mason University told National Geographic. “The great danger is
24、that a lot of carbon goes into the atmosphere，” he stressed. “In the midst of the global climate crisis, we cannot afford more damage to a major source of oxygen and biodiversity. The Amazon rainforest must be protected，” UN Secretary General Antonio Guterres said.Data from the National Institute fo

35、sion might one day light rooms or charge phones. It could also power electronics in remote or lowresource areas that lack electricity.The device makes use of the temperature difference between the Earth and outer space to create electricity. As long as one side of it is cooler than the other, the ge
36、nerator can produce electricity. The cooler side faces the sky and is attached to an aluminum plate. That plate is sealed beneath a transparent cover and surrounded with insulation (隔热材料) to keep out heat. The bottom of the generator is attached to an exposed aluminum plate. That plate is warmed by
37、the local air. At night, the top plate can get a couple of degrees Celsius cooler than the bottom of the generator.Researchers tested a 20centimeter prototype one clear December night in Stanford University, California. The generator produced up to 25 milliwatts of power per square meter of the devi
38、ce. That was enough power to light a small light emitting diode, or a LED bulb. Further improvements might increase its production to at least 500 milliwatts per square meter. The system might need more insulation around the cool top plate to do that.“The device could also help power remote weather
39、stations or other environmental devices，” says Aaswath Raman. He is a materials scientist who works on the device at the University of California, Los Angeles. “This may be useful in polar regions where people cant see sunlight for months, ”Raman says.“ If you have some lowpower devices and you need
