Submitted by ub on

The world's oldest forest may be located near Cairo, New York - Its fossils offer insight into the evolution of some trees and animals.

Record-setting titles notwithstanding, the Catskill region is thought to be fertile ground for additional research, as perBingUNews, that will provide scientists clues into ancient trees and land animals that paint a more complete picture of the evolution of the earth.   https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=kFotusS71vc&pp=ygUOQ2Fpcm8gbmV3IHlvcms%3D

Some claim the 180-million-year-old Daintree Rainforest in Australia takes the cake as the oldest living forest in the world, according to an oldest.org article.

The area is home to a thriving, rich diversity of reptiles, amphibians, and insect species and is the site of nearly a half-million tourists annually.

The rainforest is also home to 80 percent of all fern species in the world, and per Australia's tourism website, the great British historian Sir David Attenborough called it “the most extraordinary place on Earth.”

Regardless we must take care of Mother Earth or one day she she will no longer be able to provide for all of us.
