【正文】 people focused and lead to relaxation. Researches show that aspects of the physical environment can influence creativity. In 2021, Joan MeyersLevy at the University of Minnesota, reported that the height of a room’s ceiling affects how people think. Her research indicates that higher ceilings encourage people to think more freely, which may lead them to make more abstract connections. Low ceilings, on the other hand, may inspire a more detailed outlook. In additions to ceiling height, the view afforded by a building may influence an occupant39。s largest mining corporation gained the right to reopen an old mine in the heart of the monarch reserve.

Illegal woodcutting in the heart of the Monarch Butterfly Biosphere Reserve has been a longstanding problem, but criminals are rarely brought to justice. They are often set free after paying some money. Just last month, an even greater threat rose in Michoacan39。s Butterfly Forest is a shelter protected by law, and one of the country39。s such a breathtaking sight, but as always, human greed is threatening to destroy it.
