Changing the Landscape & Economy with Paulownia.

 The transformation of Lankao County into a center for musical instrument manufacturing, primarily due to the abundance of paulownia trees. Changing the landscape and changing the economy. These trees, known for their suitability in making musical instruments, have been pivotal in the county's economic development. Historically, Lankao faced environmental challenges like floods and sandstorms, leading to poor soil quality and crop failures. In the 1960s, local initiatives encouraged planting paulownia trees to improve soil conditions and conserve water. By the 1980s, these trees became a key resource for crafting furniture and traditional Chinese musical instruments. Today, Lankao boasts over 200 musical instrument workshops, with their products reaching both domestic and international markets​.

 Levi-Montalcini Foundation uses Paulownia for an eco-sustainable innovation center.

The project was designed by the famous Italian architect Giancarlo Zema, who is famous for his eco-sustainable projects. However, the most impressive feature of the project is the use of 500 Paulownia trees that surround the center.

At the entrance to the center, an interactive system is installed that will display in real time the electrochemical processes taking place between the plants, as well as the amount of CO2 absorbed and oxygen released.

Paulownia is a tree species known for its ability to absorb large amounts of CO2. These trees are capable of absorbing about ten times more CO2 than normal trees, or about 50 tonnes per year.
