🌟 About 20 years ago, Dr. Eduardo Marchesi, an eminent Uruguayan botanist, was walking around a UPM site collecting plants as part of biodiversity surveys, when some eroded area "stones" scattered around the site caught his attention. 👀🔍 Turned out they were not ordinary stones but very particular fossils corresponding to a large animal. The discovery was studied in Palaeontology Department and noticed that the fossils belonged to a species yet unknown to science: the Uruguayan Titanosaurus.🦕 Estimate was that this giant herbivore lived more than 80 million years ago in Uruguay. Needles to say, we immediately declared the area a conservation area and we are extremely proud to be the guardians of this impressive site. 🙏 Today, on International Dinosaur Day and we would love to hear the answer to the question we grown-ups ask too seldom: What's your favourite dino? 🦖⤵

On this World Bee Day, a special shoutout to all the dedicated polluters buzzing near UPM plantations in Uruguay! 🐝 🌱 Eucalyptus, which flower in autumn, provide a unique advantage for honey production. While most other vegetation and crops in Uruguay flower in spring, eucalyptus extends the honey production season. 🍯 All honey producers follow protocols and are committed to implementing the manual of good beekeeping practices developed by the state, ensuring the highest quality honey and the well-being of bees. 🌟 In 2023, we welcomed 130 beekeepers to UPM lands, where they placed over 15,000 production units. Happy World Bee Day! 🐝💛 #WorldBeeDay #Beekeeping #Sustainability #HoneyProduction #UPM #UPMPulp
