The Biodiversity Museum at Expo 2023 Doha showcases the region's flora and fauna through the "Nation of Plants" events, along with video clips and interactive shows that help visitors explore plant intelligence and ability to learn and communicate with its surroundings.
The theme of the expo, which is open to visitors throughout the week, is *Green desert, better environment.
The exhibition addresses the topic of humans for plants, trees from roots to crown, and plant superpowers, introducing the Sidr tree and its implications on the Earth’s health and sustainability.
It also highlights the scientists' efforts to prove that plants may feel pain with some kind of recognition and consciousness, since they produce ethylene to regulate all their functions, starting with germination and ending with the ripening of fruit.
Plants also release ethylene when they become nervous, or when they are exposed to assault by humans, but weirdly other surrounding plants also feel the same, since fruits produce a massive quantity of gases when they become ready to eat.
